      G           C
I'm starting to feel
     G       C             Am
We stayed together out of fear
           G  C G C
Of dying alone

I've been slipping through the years
My old clothes don't fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts of the people I've been

It's like my heart can't be tamed
I fall in love every day
And I feel like a fool

I have to face the truth
That no one could ever look at me like you do
Like I'm something worth holding onto

         D                 C
There's times I think of leaving,
          Em                   C
but it's something I'll never do.
       G          D           E
Cause you can do better than me,
    Am          C           G
but I can't do better than you.
 G          D           E
You can do better than me,
    Am          C           G
but I can't do better than you.
