Intro
C# G#
C# G# C#
You leave me here with a bad taste in my mouth
F# C#
Leave with my friends and head right out of town
F# C#
And I'll miss you like I miss an old toothache
C# G# C#
Leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
C# G# C#
So I'll take my car and head straight out west
F# C#
Finally find a place where I can rest
F# C#
And I've been so run down from the things you say
C# G# C#
And leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
C# D#m F#
But honey when I lay in bed at night
F# C# G#
It's me that's left alone and crying for you and ain't that cruel?
D#m F#
And since it seems like you don't care
F# C# G#
I'll be headed straight to where I know there's no you
C# G# C#
So I'll call up my old friends and have a good time
F# C#
Fix all the pain you left and try to unwind
F# C#
And I'll be back to my old self one of these days
C# G# C#
'Cause leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
C# G# C#
Leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
C# G# C#
And leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
