#1.
A             C#m         D          A
I should have known you'd bid me farewell,
                       C#m
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I've
D               E    E7
learned it very well.
D                 E            A               F#m7
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea,
     Bm              C#m              D              C#7
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me.
CHORUS:
F#m                                  Bm
And I think it's gonna be all right, yeah,
the worst is over now..

You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
                    C#m       D                  E    E7
For you I'm just an ornament, something for your pride.
D               E             A                   F#m
Always running, never caring, that's the life you live.
Bm             C#m               D              C#7
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give.
CHORUS:
F#m                                  Bm
And I think it's gonna be all right, yeah,
the worst is over now..

I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all.
    Eb             F               Bb           Gm
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end,

I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna
