E                                      A
I'm looking forward to another day without you
The way I see it you could never do what I do
I welcomed you with open arms
You drove the knife right through my heart
So now I'm crossing out the pain
that's been tearing us apart

Chorus:
C#m               B                       A
You were out of sight, now you're out of line
C#m           B                       A  B
Went to your head, now you're left behind
E      G#m            A
Let me go, can't you see?
                 B                  E
You're just the next best thing to me
      G#m         A
Here I go, honestly
                 B                  E
You're just the next best thing to me

I'm packing up my things and moving on without you
As far as I can see you'll never do what I do
I'm pushing you away, living out
my dreams that you tore down
Can't you swallow up your pride,
admit defeat and finally drown

F#m            A             E
I think you're in over your head
                                 F#m
Choking as the water fills your lungs
           A                  E
Can't you see, to me you're dead
          B                   C#m
Too late now, what's said is done
