INTRO: F Bb F Baby, how could I have been so vain Bb To make you feel like you're the only one to blame F For all these distances and none of this pain Baby, how could I have been so blind Bb To presuppose that your needs were just like mine F You've been a prisoner for a long, long time CHORUS: C Bb 'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free F If that's the way it must be I tried so hard to make you part of me Bb That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see F Someone that you could never, ever be So full of pride, I could not see straight Bb I thought you'd change, if'n I could only wait F I see the truth now, but it's much too late CHORUS: C Bb 'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free F If that's the way it must be BRIDGE: Dm Bb F Oh oh oh oh oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean Dm Bb C F Bb F Oh oh oh oh oh, is there nothing left but silence in between Dm Bb F Oh oh oh oh oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean Dm Bb C F Oh oh oh oh oh, is there nothing left but silence in between Baby, how'd we hold on so long Bb To something both of us must have known was wrong F We're either fools, or must be terribly strong CHORUS: C Bb 'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free F If that's the way it must be C Bb 'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free F If that's the way it must be C Bb 'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free F If that's the way it must be
