Esus4
You were my home planet
E                            A  E D
You were my stars, my holy place
Esus4
Mmh, but you took me for granted
E
Right from the start
                  A  E D
Now, didn't you, babe?

Esus4
And I...
E
Wish you the best of luck in finding
        A             E         D
Someone else who's strong enough
Esus4
And I...
E
This is the only time
                    A        E      D
I can't be keeping you from fucking up

Chorus:
   Esus4
 So go ahead and do your worst
E                          _
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
     A     E       D
Can you afford to lose me?
Esus4
Go ahead and pack your bags
E
But, once you're gone, you can't come back
     A     E       D
Can you afford to lose me?
        Bm
And if you've still got that fire
       D            _
Then prove it to me

I was your life support machine
Didn't you realize it was always me? (Always me)
I was always there to pick up the pieces
When you were a full-blown catastrophe (Yeah)

And I–
Gave you the closest thing you ever had to love
So sober up
And this time (Time)
This is the final time I'll draw the line
I've suffered long enough

Chorus:
So, go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
'Cause once you’re gone, you can’t come back
Can you afford to lose me?

And if you've still got that fire
Then prove it to me, hm

Once you're gone, you can’t come back
Can you afford to lose me?
