Em            C              G
I think it's time that I be honest
Em         C               G
Should've told you not to go
Em          C               G
Thought I knew just what I wanted
Em         C            G
I didn't know myself at all

Bm                      C
You're with somebody I can't be, yeah
Bm                          C
But I can tell that you're happy

Chorus:
              Em                  C        G
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new
            Em               C             G
Take her to all the places that I took us to
               Em              C          G
And she might help me forget that loving her is
          D             Em
something I could never do
C          G
Because I had
          Em     C G
Because I had you

Hey, remember when I told you
That you and I, we'd go down in history together,
yeah
And does your sister ask about me?
You and I, what we had, is it gone forever?

You're with somebody I can't be
But I can tell that you're happy

Chorus:
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new
Take her to all the places that I took us to
And she might help me forget but loving her is
something I could never do
Because I had, because I had you

         C       G
There's nothin', oh
                         Em
There's nothin' left to lose
C          G
Because I had you, babe
 Em      C     G
There's nothin'
                     Em
Nothin' that I could do
C         G
I wish I had you

Chorus:
But I think it's time I finally found somebody new
And tell myself that she's the one to get me through
And she might help me forget but loving her is
something I just couldn't do
Because I had you
