[Intro]
Em C G D
[Verse 1]
Em C
I don’t care what you think of me
G D
You can throw into the sea
Em C
Wrap a rope right around my feet
G D
Watch me drown so gently
Em C
Drag my name around, all through the town
G D
Act like you all don’t know me
Em C
I’m the crazy little wanna be
G D
So go ahead and get away from me
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
I'm better off on my own
G D
I like being alone
Em C
I never check my phone
G D
'Cause there’s no room for you no more
Em C
You were never right
G D
But you changed my life
Em C
You were my kryptonite
G D
And I don't need you tonight
[Chorus]
G D
Girl, keep moving
Em C
Keep moving on
G D
I had to change up my own life
Em C
It's time I walk in my own stride
G D
I'm better losing
Em C
Better losing you
G D
If you're wondering why I lied
Em C
Here's a clue
G D
It's because of you
[Verse 2]
Em C
You tell me to move on
G D
As if I did you wrong
Em C
As if I didn't make you strong
G D
I'll let bygones be bygones
Em C
And though it's been quite long
G D
I never thought I'd be on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C
Blood, tears, and sweat
G D
And pounding in my head
Em C
I even lost my friends
G D
Now you tell me it's the end
Em C
Should've known that I
G D
Was wasting my time
Em C
Instead, I gave my life
G D
But all I got was a double-edged knife
[Chorus]
G D
Boy, keep moving
Em C
Keep moving on
G D
I had to change up my own life
Em C
It's time I walk in my own stride
G D
I'm better losing
Em C
Better losing you
G D
If you're wondering why I lied
Em C
Here's a clue
G D
It's because of you
[Bridge]
Em C
Because of you, you, you
G D
Because of you
Em C
Because of you, you, you
G D
Because of you
[Chorus]
G D
Girl, keep moving
Em C
Keep moving on
G D
I had to change up my own life
Em C
It's time I walk in my own stride
G D
I'm better losing
Em C
Better losing you
G D
If you're wondering why I lied
Em C
Here's a clue
G D
It's because of you

Because of you, you, you

Because of you
