    A#            F
We rode it to a dead end
       D#
Saying goodbye to a best friend
        A#              F              D#
Is the bad part of the right thing to do
A#             F
I was hard to handle
        D#
And we burned out like a birthday candle
     A#              F             D#
The pictures on the mantle aren't true

                       Cm
Everybody knows that a breakup
                                  Dm
Is better when there’s someone to hate, but
                              D#
You were my favourite way to stay up
                   F
And I'd say that still

Chorus:
   A#
I know the reasons
               Gm
Took a couple tries to see 'em
        F
But now everything is through
                 D#
It’s you I wanna call, though
     A#
When all I've known of
                     Gm
Is something that I should let go of
      F                                        D#
I'll cut it at the root and drain it 'til it's all
so hollow
            Gm        A#      D#
But you are one tough act to follow

I got busy
And you forgot how to miss me
When I'm not much of who you grew up with
Oh, you were distracted
And the silence made a hat trick
It's a long list with a lasting fix

Everybody knows that a breakup
Is better when there's someone to hate but
You were my favourite way to stay up,
and I’d say that still

Chorus:
I know the reasons
Took a couple tries to see ’em
But now everything is through, it's you
I wanna call though
When all I’ve known of
Is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root and drain it
'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow

       D#                   A#
And I know that we weren’t perfect
               D#            A#
So I hope you meet someone tomorrow
          D#              A#
And she's everything you wanted
               A#        F      D#
But I hope I'm one tough act to follow

Chorus:
I know the reasons
Took a little time to believe 'em
Now everything is through, it's you
I wanna call though
When all I've known of
Is something that I should let go of
I'll cut it at the root and drain it
'til it's all so hollow
But you are one tough act to follow
You are one tough act to follow
