 CAPO 3 to match album
 
 This is a piano song, so you really need to listen to get the chord timing just right.
 It is near impossible to find any of her sheet music, so this is one I figured out on my own.
 
 
 G                 C              G   C 
  I think about how it might have been
 
 G                 C           G C 
  We'd spend our days travelin'
 
 Am                     G             
  It's not that I don't understand you
 
 Am                     G                  
  It's not that I don't want to be with you
 
         Am            
 But you only wanted me
 
             C        
 The way you wanted me
 
            G         C       G             C   
 So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
 
            G                  
 And we can hang our heads down
 
      C             G   C 
 As we skip the goodbyes
 
             G                       C                
 And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
 
          Dm              Am           
 I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
 
         Bm                      Fd/D 
 So, I'm up for the little white lies
 
             C D2               G  
 But you and I  know the reason why
 
     C                      G    
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 
     C                      G    
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 
     C                      G    
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 
 G                   C                   G   C 
  I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
 
 G                       C                  G    C 
  From coast to coast or wherever I find my place
 
 Am                     G         
  I'll track you on the radio, and
 
      Am                  Dm            
 I'll sign your list in a different name
 
        Am                   
 But as close as I get to you
 
              C   
 It's not the same
 
 
            G         C       G             C   
 So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
 
    G                            C 
 We can pat ourselves on the back
 
                 G    C 
 And say that we tried
 
        G                  C  
 And if one of us makes it big
 
        Dm           Am  
 We can spill our regrets
 
     Bm                             Fd/D 
 And talk about how the love never dies
 
             C D2               G  
 But you and I  know the reason why
 
     C                      G    
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 
     C                      G    
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 
     C                      G    
 I'm gone, and you're still there
 
 
 Bm                               Fd/D 
  So, steal the show, and do your best
 
                                 Am  
 To cover the tracks that I have left
 
                              D7  
 I wish you well and hope you find
 
                         Am 
 Whatever you're looking for
 
                               D7  
 The way I might've changed my mind
 
                            Am  Bm C D7 
 But you only showed me the door
 
 
            G         C       G             C   
 So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
 
    G                            C 
 We can pat ourselves on the back
 
                 G    C 
 And say that we tried
 
        G                  C  
 And if one of us makes it big
 
        Dm           Am  
 We can spill our regrets
 
     Bm                             Fd/D 
 And talk about how the love never dies
 
             C D2 
 But you and I 
 
 C Fd/D 
   

 You and I--------
 

 
         C D2                G C G C G C G 
 You and I  know the reason why
