Em C

Here we are, seven days

G D

And seven nights of empty tries

Em C

It's ritual, habitual

G D

But it's never gonna work this time

Am C

We're to the point of no return

G D Am C

And along the way the only thing we've learned

G D

Is how to hurt each other

Em C

I'm looking back and wondering why

G D

It took so long to realize

Em C

That nothing's changed, it never will

G D

All these years of standing still

Am C

And still we stay in all this pain

G D C D

And nothing's gonna make it go away

Em C

I don't wanna wait another minute

G D

Put me out of my misery

Em C

I can read your mind baby you're not in it

G D

And we're not what we used to be

Em C

No you wouldn't have to lie to me

G D

If you would only let me go

Em C D

And I don't wanna wait another minute to hear

Something that I already know

C G D

I know, I know, I know

So save your voice

Don't waste your breath

G D

Can't you see we're at the end

Em C

And this goodbye,(babe) is permanent

G D

So wish me well and try to forget

umm..And all the fights

And all the ways

We almost made it

D Am C

But we never did

G D

And it's finally come to this

Em C

I don't wanna wait another minute

G D

Put me out of my misery

Em C

I can read your mind baby you're not in it

G D

And we're not what we used to be

No you wouldn't have to lie to me

G D

If you would only let me go
