Intro: Bm  D  Em  G  F#  (2x) 
 
Verse 1 
 
Bm                    D            Em               G   F# 
     You know I'm not one to break promises 
Bm                    D                      Em         G    F#      
      I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe 
Bm                     D                   Em               G    F#      
     At the end of it all, you're still my best friend 
Bm                         D                     Em        G    F#      
     But there's something inside that I need to release 
Bm                         D 
Which way is right, which way is wrong 
Em                  G        F# 
How do I say that I need to move on 
Bm               D                Em     G    F# 
     You know we have is separate way 
        
 
       Bm              D                 Em          G    F# 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
Bm                       D            Em     G      F# 
     There ain't nothing I can really say 
Bm                        D               Em 
     I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more 
                    G      F# 
Got to be true to myself 
       Bm              D                 Em 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
G             F# 
   So I'll be on my way 
 
Bm    D     Em    G   F# (2x) 
 
Verse 2 
 
Bm                   D                 Em      G    F# 
     You've given me more than I can return 
Bm                   D                Em        G     F# 
     Yet there oh so much that you deserve 
Bm              D                       
Nothing to say, nothing to do, 
Em 
Nothing to give 
       G         F# 
I must leave without you 
Bm               D                Em      G    F# 
     You know we have is separate way 
 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
There ain't nothing I can really say 
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more 
Got to be true to myself 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
There ain't nothing that I can really say 
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more 
Got to be true to myself 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
So I'll be on my way 
 
So I'll be on my way 
So I'll be on my way
