VERSE:

Dm C

So long, you gotta go

F G

I've pushed the door against your shoes

Dm C F G

For too long

Dm C

And now you say you can't decide

F G

Which way to run or where to hide,

You're so wrong

I can't believe this is going on

CHORUS:

Too late to steal the show

Long time waitin for the afterglow

If it's over,

Then I have to know

You wanna leave so just go on

And half the time I'd carry on

'Cause I need you,

D Dm C F G

And it hurts to show

VERSE:

Dm C

You tie me up, you tie me down

F G

I came undone, you came around

Dm C F G

You were so strong

Dm C

And now you're free to play the field

F G

With love to win and hearts to steal,

So long

You say you're never coming back

CHORUS:

Too late to steal the show

Long time waitin for the afterglow

If it's over,

Then I have to know

You wanna leave so just go on

And half the time I would carry on

Cause I need you,

And it hurts to show
