(Verse)
G#m B
Each day I see it
E F#
The memory of me leaving
G#m B F#
I still don't even know the reason why

Early one morning
E F#
I left a note with no warning
G#m B F#
Too scared to even really say goodbye
(Pre-Chorus)
E F#
Oh I wish you could hear the truth
(Chorus)
G#m E
That I'd be lying if I said
B F#
That I don't need you
G#m E
And I'd be lying if I said
B F#
I'm better off alone
G#m E
And I've been trying to forget
B F# G#m
The day I let you go
E F#
I'd be lying
G#m
But I guess you'll never know
(Verse)
G#m B
You were what I needed
E F#
But I was too blind to see it
G#m B F#
I know that you never would have let me fall
(Now I'm falling down)
G#m B
And now it's too late
E F# G#m
You've gone away without a trace
B F#
It's like you were never even here at all
(Pre-Chorus)
E F#
Oh I wish you could hear the truth
(Chorus)
G#m E
That I'd be lying if I said
B F#
That I don't need you
G#m E
And I'd be lying if I said
B F#
I'm better off alone
G#m E
And I've been trying to forget
B F# G#m
The day I let you go
E F#
I'd be lying
(BRIDGE)
E
Because I'm a wreck when you are gone

I know now that I was wrong

I need you, I need to find you

Come back, come back, come back to me

I'm a wreck when you are gone

I know now that I was wrong

I need you, I need to find you

Come back, come back, come back to me

And I'd be lying if I said, ohh

I'd be lying if I said

Come back, come back, come back to me

I'd be lying if I said

That I don't need you

And I'd be lying if I said

I'm better off alone

And I've been trying to forget

The day I let you go

I'd be lying
