You say I'm different now

[Outro]
Am                   F
Ain't there no more, I
ain't there no more
Am                   G
Ain't there no more, I
ain't there no more
Am                   C
Ain't there no more but
 the hardest part is
Am                     G
You're realising maybe I,
          C
maybe I ain't the same
And what you're waiting
for ain't there no more anyway
