Verses G--D/F#--Em (in between each line Em7--Em)
Chorus Cadd9--D--G--D/F#--Em
Why can't I just leave it,
Just turn my back and walk away
I don't want you to see me like this
I just can't stay
I can't face another daybreak
without feeling so confused
I just want to have my own life
But that line's already been used
(Chorus)
Just like the same old words
Things, they don't come easy
About time I realized
I'm in this for myself
No sense being afraid
Of things that are coming to me
Let 'em come, I can't stand living this way
I try so hard to believe you
When you say we'll work it out
As time goes by there goes another one
Of your promises
Flyin out the door
I know one day you'll realize
That I'm not a game to you
Just one day I'd like to prove
I can leave it when I choose
(Chorus)
Just like the same old words
Things, they don't come easy
About time I realized
I'm in this for myself
No sense being afraid
Of things that are coming to me
Let 'em come, I can't stand living this way
