E B C#m A
E B
I've never known you
C#m A
But I'm no stranger to this feeling
E B C#m A
I I know it's over but the hurts not
E B C#m A
What do you call it when broken hearts are not done healing
E B C#m A
You threw down your cigarette but it's still hot
C#m A
Well I've learned to lie
B
And here's what I've got
Chorus:
E B
Well didn't I think you would always love me
C#m A
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby
C#m B A
Well that ain't happenin'
B
No no no
E B
Wouldn't I love just to rise above this
C#m
You gotta believe
A C#m
I have suffered enough to be free
B
So I'm officially leavin'
A
With just a kiss on the cheek and
B
I'm gone.
E
I'll be up at 7 o'clock
B C#m
whoa oh oh whoa oh oh
A
7 o'clock to Chicago
E B C#m A
Whoa oh whoa oh
E B
It's never easy
C#m A
Breakin' this old addiction
E B
I I've got the reasons
C#m A
But no rational
E B C#m A
And I wanna hate you cause you don't give me no conviction
E B C#m A
Your betrayal oughta make this break down no trouble at all
C#m A
So let the rubble fall
B
Cause I'm running off
Chorus:
E B
Well didn't I think you would always love me
C#m A
And didn't I want you to take care of me baby
C#m B A
Well that ain't happenin'
B
No no no

Wouldn't I love just to rise above this

I ain't got no second thoughts
E A
Because I know I'm on my way to the top
B
On my way
