Verse 1:
    G                C      Em
the writing’s on the wall
        D                  G   C   Em   D
and the ink’s on my hands
              G                  C     Em
and I’ve been trying to put this off
      D                 G   C   Em   D
but I know that I can’t

Pre-chorus:
                G                C
and what do you do when it won’t work
                 Em              D
and where do you go when it just hurts
                G              C           Em D
and why does it always seem to end up just like this

Chorus:
G            C
‘cus we both know
Em           D           G
that this is never gonna work
           C
and I just hope
Em           D                G
you find someone who puts you first
              C
who keeps you close
Em             D                   G
who knows your heart and sees your worth
              C
who won’t let go
Em             D          G
cus oh, well I know you deserve
        C        Em D
someone so much better
     G           C         Em D
‘cus I’m someone who could never

come close

Verse 2:
      G              C           Em
don’t tell me you’re surprised
       D                      G   C   Em   D
‘cus I know that you’re not
        G         C           Em
I could see it in your eyes
         D                G    C   Em   D
from the day that we started

Pre-chorus:
                G            C
and what do you do when it’s okay
             Em             D
no reason to go but none to stay
               G               C               Em      D
and somehow it always seems to end up just like this

Chorus:
G            C
‘cus we both know
Em           D           G
that this is never gonna work
           C
and I just hope
Em           D                G
you find someone who puts you first
              C
who keeps you close
Em             D                   G
who knows your heart and sees your worth
              C
who won’t let go
Em             D          G
cus oh, well I know you deserve
        C        Em D
someone so much better
     G           C         Em D
‘cus I’m someone who could never
           G   C   Em   D
come close

‘cus I’m someone who could never
