there's a lesson to be learned
from this, and I learned it very well.

starfish in the sea,
Am Bm C

again, it's all the same to me.

And I think it's gonna be all right, yeah, the

2. You never
cared for secrets I'd confide,
Bm C D - D7
for you I'm just an ornament,
something for your pride.
C D G Em
Always running, never caring,
that's the life you live,
Am Bm C B7
stolen minutes of your time
were all you had to give.

3. The story's in the past with
nothing to recall,
Bm C D - D7
I've got my life to live and I
don't need you at all.

The roller coaster ride we
took is nearly at an end,
Am Bm C B7
I bought my ticket with my
tears, that's all I'm gonna spend.
+ CHORUS (2x) + G - Em - C - G
