[Verse 1]
  DNow that it's all said and doAne,
I can't believe you were the Bmone
To build me uAp and tear me doGwn,
Like an old abandoned house.
  DWhat you said when you lefAt
Just left me cold and out of bBmreath.
I fell too fAar, was in way too deE7ep.
Guess I let you get the bGest of mAe.
[Chorus]
Well, I nDever saw it coming.
I should've started running
A lAong, long time ago.
And I nBmever thought I'd doubt you,
I'm bAetter off without you
MGore than you, more than you Aknow.
I'm Dslowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm fAinally getting better.
And now I'm Bmpicking up the pieces.
I'm sApending all of these years
PGutting my heart back toAgether.
'Cause the E7day I thought I'd never get thrGough,
          AN.C.
I got over you.
[Interlude]
D    Bb  C
[Verse 2]
 DYou took a hammer to these waAlls,
Dragged the memories down the Bmhall,
Packed your Abags and walked aGway.
There was nothing I could say.
  DAnd when you slammed the front door shAut,
A lot of others opened Bmup,
So did my Aeyes so I could E7see
That you never were the Gbest for mAe.
[Chorus]
Well, I nDever saw it coming.
I should've started running
A lAong, long time ago.
And I nBmever thought I'd doubt you,
I'm bAetter off without you
MGore than you, more than you Aknow.
I'm Dslowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm fAinally getting better.
And now I'm Bmpicking up the pieces.
I'm sApending all of these years
PGutting my heart back toAgether.
'Cause the E7day I thought I'd never get thrGough,
I got Aover you.

Well, I nDever saw it coming.

The story behind the song

"Over You" captures the challenging journey of a breakup, charting the path from the initial shock of a relationship ending to the eventual triumph of moving on. It speaks to that moment when you believe someone is "the person you're gonna spend the rest of your life with," only to have them "drop the ball on you." The song expresses the feeling that life is "done," until, unexpectedly, a better future appears. Written by Chris Daughtry and Brian Howes, this track from Daughtry's debut album resonates with anyone who has faced the difficult but ultimately freeing process of healing after a significant loss.

[Verse 1]

D A

Now that it's all said and done,

I can't believe you were the one

A G

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.

D A

What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

A E7

I fell too far, was in way too deep.

G A

Guess I let you get the best of me.

[Chorus]

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

G A

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

G A

Putting my heart back together.

E7 G

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

N.C.

I got over you.

[Interlude]

D Bb C

[Verse 2]

D A

You took a hammer to these walls,

Dragged the memories down the hall,

A G

Packed your bags and walked away.

There was nothing I could say.

D A

And when you slammed the front door shut,

A lot of others opened up,

A E7

So did my eyes so I could see

G A

That you never were the best for me.

[Chorus]

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

G A

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

G A

Putting my heart back together.

E7 G

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.

[Solo]

[Chorus]

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

G A

More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

[Outro]

Whoa oh ah oh

Well, I'm putting my heart back together,

Bm A

Whoa oh ah oh

'Cause I got over you.

Whoa oh ah oh

Well, I got over you.

Bm A

Whoa oh ah oh

I got over you.

E7 G

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

N.C.

I got over you.
