Dm                         A#
I've been waiting for the day you say you
         F   C
want me back
Dm                        A#                     F C
I've been alone but baby, I can't seem to understand

              Dm
You threw my heart into the flames
            A#
I took our pictures out the frames
    F                                 C
I tried to throw 'em out but I still keep 'em
just in case
           Dm                           A#
If you're wondering if I still love you after
                  F
so much time has passed
          C
Since you asked

Chorus:
               Dm       A#
I don't really want you back
                 F       C
I just want the life we had
               Dm       A#
I don't really want you back
            F C
No, I don't
                    Dm       A#
No, I don't really want you close
               F       C
I just needed you to know
                     Dm       A#
That I don't really want you back
            F C
No, I don't

And I remember all the times you said you
had my back
But now we're separated, goin' down our
separate paths

You threw my heart into the flames
I took our pictures out the frames
I tried to throw 'em out but I still
keep 'em just in case
If you're wondering if I still love
you after so much time away
Here's what I'll say

Chorus:
I don't really want you back
I just want the life we had
I don't really want you back
No, I don't (I don't)
And I don't really want you close
I just needed you to know (I just needed you)
That I don't really want you back
No, I don't

                          Dm
But I don't wanna let you go
A#                         F
No, I don't wanna let you go
 C                         Dm
Oh, I don't wanna let you go
A#                         F C
No, I don't wanna let you go

Chorus:
I don't really want you back
I just want the life we had
I don't really want you back
No, I don't, oh
No, I don't really want you close
I just needed you to know
That I don't really want you back
No, I don't
No, I don't

But I don't wanna let you go
No, I don't wanna let you go
No, I don't wanna let you go
No, I don't wanna let you go
No, I don't
