G   C  F
All I see
G                C       F
Lying there in front of me
               G    C  F
Maybe we were here before
G              C       F
I just didn't wanna believe

       G         C       F
But in all that time we never talked
F
You wrote it down so I couldn't ignore it

Chorus:
G              C                F
This is the way you want it to be
G              C                F
This is the way you want it to be
      G            C                F
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
                      G C  F
Guess you don't want me

We had love, always thought it would be enough
Oh, but then it goes away
But I don't really wanna give up

It feels like hell to let you walk
Bet it all down but I couldn't afford it

Chorus

F                             G C G C
And I never really said it before
F                                   G  C    G  C F
But I really should have given you so much more

Chorus:
But this is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me
Guess you don't want me, no

Guess you don't want me
Yeah, you don't want
Guess you don't want me
