G C
Haven't picked up a six string in a long long while
F G
I can't remember the last time I wrote a song
C G Am F
You broke my heart so many times I stopped counting
C G C
No longer know why I still care
G C
You seem so happy without me
F G
I'm lying here and I can't breathe
C G Am F
Cause you were air and now I'm drowning
C G C
Still I, I need you to go
G C Am
So here, here I go, Geronimo,
C G
I'm letting you go
C G Am G
And I know as much as it breaks my soul
C G C
I, I'm better off alone

G C
Some nights I go to bed happy
Am C G
Some nights I can't stop the tears
C G Am G
Other nights I can't feel anything from my skin
C G C
to my bones but I, I'd rather feel the pain
G C
Cause pain's better than nothing,
Am C G
I'd rather see some red go down the drain
C G Am C
I can never stop those demons that enter my dreams
G C
But I, I know you were the reason
G C Am
So here, here I go, Geronimo
C G
I'm letting you go
C G Am G
And I know as much as it breaks my soul
C G C
I, I'm better off alone
