1. I should have known you'd bid me farewell,

                                        Bm                                 C                      D   - D7    

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

      C                           D                  G                 Em

    Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea,

         Am                     Bm                     C                      B7

    if I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me.

 

          Em                                      Am                 

And I think it's gonna be all right, yeah, the worst is over now,

         D                                          C               G                  

the morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

 

      - Em-C-D    G             Bm           C                   G

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.

 

+ CHORUS

 

     - Em-C-D             G                Bm           C                 G

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.

            C                   D                       G               Em  

    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
