F#m          D
Well if you say it's better
E                  C# 
off this way It's time that
         F#m           D
I let you go It's been on my
          E
mind for days And well the
 C#                 D
truth isI already know What
        E
you've done and where you've
 C#           F#m
been I know exactly every move
     D                  A
you make It's time that I
            E       C# 
give up on our mistakes

And I don't want to be stuck
inside a memory I don't want to keep
It's hard to believe when all
you find in every word is more deceit
So do what you will
And go on and play the game
As straight as you keep your face
When tables turn, you just might
find that I will say

Chorus:
             F#m
I'm turning away
           A
Because I feel like
         E
I can't go on while
        C#            F#m
we're living in this lie
         A
And when all of my faith
    E             C# 
is gone I don't even want
    F#m         A
to try There's nothing that
           E
you could say that could
 C#            F#m
ever change my mind
         A
And will all of these steps
   E          C# 
I take it's giving me back my life

I'm turning away (Away)
Because I feel like I can't go on
While we're living in this lie
And when all of my faith is gone
I don’t even want to try
There's nothing that you could say
That could ever change my mind
And with all of these steps I take
It's giving me back my life
