Bb                                     A7
 I’ve always had one foot out the door
                                     Dm
 I don’t wanna play this game no more
                          Csus4
 I don’t wanna let you down
              F7
 I don’t wanna see you drown

 Bb                                     A7
 I’ve always had one hand on your heart
                                     Dm
 The other one pulling us apart
                           Csus4
 I don’t wanna let you go


[Chorus]
Bb
 Why do you wait for me
Am
 And let me hurt you
Dm
 Why can’t I set you free to someone
Csus4   F7
 Who deserves you
Bb
 Don’t tell me that you’re fine
Am
 Don’t say it’s worth it
Dm
 I might spend my whole life
Csus4             
 In search of something perfect


[Verse 2]
 Bb
  Give me all your love, give me all your time
 A7                                            Dm
  And I’ll show you how to carefully throw it away for sure

 ‘Till there’s no more
Csus4                     F7
  You’ll never get it back no no no no no no

Bb
 Please don’t ask me how I say nice things
Am
 When I know right now what the future brings
Dm
 I know damn well that this ain’t my dream
Csus4                 F7
 But somehow I still don’t know what it means

Bb
 Sitting in the car trying to tell you that you’re wrong
Am
 Tell you that you’re crazy but you knew it all along
Dm
 I put that on, I never meant to try and put you on
Csus4
 How did you stay here so long


[Chorus]
Bb
 Why do you wait for me
Am
 And let me hurt you
Dm
 Why can’t I set you free to someone
Csus4   F7
 Who deserves you
Bb
 Don’t tell me that you’re fine
Am
 Don’t say it’s worth it
Dm
 I might spend my whole life
Csus4
 In search of something perfect


[Verse 3]
Bb
 It ain’t crazy that I want you
A7
 But it’s crazy that I got you
Dm                              Csus4
 Even crazier I take for granted everything
    F7
 I used to worship

Bb
 Now it’s obvious my dreams are yelling out to me
Am
 And I paid a couple shrinks to spell it out for me
Dm
 There’s no way for this to go without a casualty
Csus4                    F7
 I just can’t imagine me ever having apathy for you

Bb                            Am
 Tell me what else I need to know
                       Dm
 I got your unconditional
                       Csus4
 Devoted affection and

 I ain’t learned my lesson yet
