[Verse 1]
Bm
You're telling me the same old story
G
And that I need to change
D
If you're not leaving my life for me
A
You make me feel that way
Bm
You know, you know
G
We're losing control
D
I gotta break away
A
Or nothing's gonna change
Bm
You got to go
G
It's the end of the road
D A
No matter what you do or say
G A
Baby you're not what I need
[Chorus]
Bm G D
I'm over this, I'm over you
A Bm G D
I'm not gonna waste my life away
A
This is my independence day
Bm G D
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
A Bm G D
I can't take away the pain
A Bm G D
This is my independence day
A Bm G D~
This is my independence day
[Verse 2]
Bm
Suddenly my picture's looking perfect
G
Since you're not in the frame
D
And deep down, I never meant to hurt you
A
But you're the one to blame
Bm
You know, you know
G
We're losing control
D
Before it's too late
A
I'm making my escape
Bm
Now that I'm gone
G
You're own your own
D A
No matter what you do or say
G A
Baby you're not what I need
[Chorus]
Bm G D
I'm over this, I'm over you
A Bm G D
I'm not gonna waste my life away
A
This is my independence day
Bm G D
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
A Bm G D
I can't take away the pain
A
This is my independence day
[Bridge]
D G
Wouldn't it be nice
Bm A
If it could have worked out right for us?
D G Bm A
I know you're fighting for all we had
D G
But it didn't feel right
Bm A
Hearts on our sleeves we lost tonight
D G
And there's no looking back
