   C
I never knew perfection ‘til
    C 
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
 F
Just to hear you say the simple things

     C
Now waking up is hard to do
       C 
And sleeping’s impossible too
F                             A#
Everything’s reminding me of you
What can I do?

Chorus:
C              C 
It’s not right, not okay
Am7      Am7              D7  
Say the word that you'll say
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way
C            C 
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am7        Am7     D7  
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way
It’s better that we break..

a fool to let you slip away
I chase you just to hear you say
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

The city looks so nice from here
Pity I can’t see it clearly
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

Chorus:
It’s not right, not okay
Say the word that you'll say
Maybe we’re better off this way
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way
It’s better that we break up

Saw you sitting all alone
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
Life these days is getting rough
It knocks you down and beats you up
But it’s just a roller coaster anyway, yeah

Chorus:
It’s not right, not okay
Say the word that should say
Maybe we’re better off this way
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way

I’m not fine, not okay
Say the word that you'll say
Maybe we’re better off this way
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way
It’s better that we break, baby
