D#
I don't wanna make this
Harder than I have to
                      G#
This is how it has to be
           D#                     Fm
There's so many things I want to say
                   G#
But you just don't listen to me

D#                  A#
I don't wanna hurt you
G#                   A#
You don't wanna hurt me
D#             A#
I can't stand you
    G#              A#
And you can't stand me
    D#
We can't rearrange
A#         F
You could never change me
G#
Say goodbye

Nothing I say could change your mind because...

Chorus:
D#       A#
I can't stay
G#               D#    A#
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
G#                  D#       A#     F
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
         G#
'Cause when you wake up
A#             D# A#
I won't be there
G#           A# D# A# G# A#
I won't be there

Everything I say
You find a way to make it
Sound like I was born just yesterday
And everything you taught me
Doesn't mean a thing
So I'm going my way

I don't wanna hurt you
You don't wanna hurt me
I can't stand you
And you can't stand me
We can't rearrange
You could never change me
Say goodbye
Nothing I say could change your mind because...

Chorus:
I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
'Cause when you wake up
I won't be there

A#           G#
This is the last night
        D#       F
That I spend at home
                       G#
And it won't take too long
             G#  
For you to notice
            G#              A#
Won't take long for you to find out
          D# A# C G# A#
That I'm gone

Chorus:
I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
'Cause when you wake up
I won't be there
I can't stay
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
'Cause when you wake up
I won't be there, yeah
I won't be there
I won't be there
I won't be there
