[Intro]  
D  C  Bm  Em A

       D                              C
It was running through my mind, I was running out of time
Bm                         Em A
And it was time to let you go
D                               C
No more right or wrong, no more crying all night long
     Bm                         Em   A
Even though it's lonely here a- lone

[Pre-Chorus]
         Bm            A                G
When the phone rings I almost wish that it was you
        Bm              A       Em             A
There's nothing left to say and nothing we can do

[Chorus]
  D Em  G        A
I can stand on my own two feet
    D Em   G            A
And I know this is best for you and me
    F#m                Em    F#m                 G A
Be- lieve me, it's not easy, I can feel the pain
   D        Em      G      A                  D
It hurts so much to leave, but not enough --- to stay

[Solo] 
C  Bm  Em A

            D                   C
You've con- vinced me before to come back for more
      Bm                           Em    A
Well, this time I'm not turning a- round
    D                             C
I'm sure one more try is bound to end in goodbye
         Bm                        Em  A
And I've come too far to turn back now

[Pre-Chorus]
           Bm              A          G
I know the hardest part is over and I take a breath
Bm              A          Em             A
Now we can look forward to better days a- head

[Chorus]
      D Em  G        A
Oh, I can stand on my own two feet
    D Em   G            A
And I know this is best for you and me
    F#m                Em    F#m                 G A
Be- lieve me, it's not easy, I can feel the pain
   D        Em      G      A                  G
It hurts so much to leave, but not enough --- --- to stay

[Solo] 
F#m G F#m Bm A/C# G A

[Chorus]
      D Em  G        A
Oh, I can stand on my own two feet
    D Em   G            A
And I know this is best for you and me
    F#m                Em    F#m                 G A
Be- lieve me, it's not easy, I can feel the pain
   D        Em      G     A
It hurts so much to leave

   D        Em      G     A
It hurts so much to leave
       D        Em      G     A
Oh, it hurts so much to leave --- not enough --- to stay

[Outro]
D  C  Bm  Em A  x repeat times to fade
