Capo 3:

I see the way

You're looking at him

Your eyes light up

With that subtle grin

I've accepted

That our ship has sailed

Don't twist things around now

And say that I Bailed

Really wish I could make you happy

But your heart clearly is not with me

I refuse to be your back up plan

When you've already got a man

G Bm

I cannot tell you how to love

But ooh darling

I won't be your runner up

G Bm

And I hope you find the one

But ooh darling

I won't be your runner up

I have

No expectation

You treat me like a friend

But want dedication

No I don't mind

Being there for you

But you give me no

Reciprocation

I really wish I could make you happy

But your heart clearly is not with me

I refuse to be your back up plan

When you've already got a man

G Bm

I cannot tell you how to love

But ooh darling

I won't be your runner up

G Bm

And I hope you find the one

But ooh darling

I won't be your runner up

I don't want to say goodbye

But I've gotta move on with my life

You've made a choice

And Now I've gotta make mine

I don't wanna say goodbye

But I've gotta move on with my life

You've made a choice

Now I'm making mine

G Bm

No one can tell you how to love

But ooh darling

I won't be your runner up

Oh and I hope

You find the one

But ooh darling

Am G Bm C

I won't be your runner up
