EmLove, not what we thought it'd Gbe
                                      C               Am  D(no5)
But the lives we thought we'd lead are gone and we're alone
Oh Emlove, you took all our pictures Gdown
                                         C               Am  D(no5)
And now I'm faced with the empty sound of you not coming home
                                 Em            C  D(no5)
Seems like we're better off, we're better off alone
We're Cbetter off in different Amlives
CBetter off in different Emlives
It's Ftime to move Gon, it's Fnobody's Gfault
You know we're Cbetter off in different lives
EmLove, we thought we could Greconsile
                                C              Am  D(no5)
The differences that we hide but that we can't ignore
Oh Emlove, it never got eaGsier
                                      C             Am  D(no5)
And now I can't even breath when we're together any more
                                 Em            C  D(no5)
Seems like we're better off, we're better off alone
We're Cbetter off in different Amlives
CBetter off in different Emlives
It's Ftime to move Gon, it's Fnobody's Gfault
You know we're Cbetter off in different lives
FSo I gave you back your C5keys
'Cause I can't unlock this G(2)door
And I told you Ameverything
Sucked our lives up off the Cfloor
                    D(no5)
And now I'm finally sure
We're Cbetter off in different Amlives
CBetter off in different Emlives
It's Ftime to move Gon, it's Fnobody's Gfault
You know we're Cbetter off in different lives
