By the last time in the car,
Cmaj7 Em
Then I already knew
Cmaj7
At the time I laughed
Cmaj7 Em
I didn't know what to believe
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em9
Couldn't stay for you
Cmaj7 Em9
What a strange way to lose
[Verse]
Cmaj7
I couldn't take you
Cmaj7 Em
Don't confuse being set free
Em
With being discarded and lonely
Em
I tried to tell you we never change
Cmaj7
I let you go and when I left
Cmaj7
I really tried to tell myself
Cmaj7 Em
It was for me... it was for me and not you
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em9
Couldn't stay for you
Cmaj7 Em9
What a strange way to lose
