D
I used to live my life in vein,
Am
until today it's been the same,
C
I've gone away to disappear,
G
my life with you was just to near
A better life is all I need,
to free me from this naughty lead,
I've been and gone and won't be back,
I'll live my life without all that,
Am C
with my own eyes I realise,
Am C
it was time to say goodnight,
Am C
I was never really sure but,
G
now I know I'm right
I used to live my life in vein,
until today it's been the same,
I've gone away to disappear,
my life with you was just to near
D
A better life is all I need,
Am
to free me from this naughty lead,

I've been and gone and I won't be back
