[(Intro) ]
D Bm Em G
(Verse 1)
D Bm
I could say that I'll always be here for you,
Em G
But that would be a lie and quite a pointless thing to do.
D Bm
And I could say that I'll always have feelings for you,
Em G A
But I've got a life ahead of me, I'm only 22.
(Chorus)
G A D
Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder,
G A D
Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older,
G A D
And now you're gone it's as if the whole wide world is my stage,
G A D
And now you're gone it's like I've been let out of my cage.
(Instrumental)
(Verse 2)
D Bm
You always made it clear that you hated my friends,
Em G
You made me feel so guilty when I was running round with them.
D Bm
And everything was always about being cool,
Em G A
But now I've come to realise there's nothing cool about you at all.
(Chorus)
G A D
Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder,
G A D
Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older,
G A D
And now you're gone it's as if the whole wide world is my stage,
G A D
And now you're gone it's like I've been let out of my cage.
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
G A D
Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder,
G A D
Since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older,
G A D
And now you're gone it's as if the whole wide world is my stage,
G A D
And now you're gone it's like I've been let out of my cage.
