[Intro]
 Bm   Gx2
[Verse 1]
AI woke up late and found on a pBmage written in black and the words hit
AYou couldn't even stay to tell me in peBmrson to tell me yourself it wasn't worth it
ARight from the start I knew it was Bmyou. How did you hide it so simply?
ARight where you are it didn't take Bmmuch but you knew when you left I'd be empty
AHow do you keep yourself toGgether while you bEmreak me apart
[Chorus]
GBut you're taking my pBmlace
And throwing me aAway
There you go like we're only anGimals
You're leading me Bmon
You're going and you're gAone
I don't think I could be so cBmasual
[Interlude]
Bm G

AWalking around, griping the Bmpaper, it's all that I've got of you here
AScratching the surface trying to remBmember, trying to let go of so much
AHow do you keep yourself toGgether while you bEmreak me apart
[Chorus]
GYou're taking my Bmplace
And throwing me aAway
There you go like we're only anGimals
You're leading me Bmon
You're going and you're gAone
I don't think I could be so cBmasual
And you think that you kAnow someone (That you know somebody so wGell)
Yeah you think that you kAnow someone
But I guess I was wBmrong
[Instrumental]
