C                      F
He and i had something beautiful
          Dm                      C
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
  C                  F
I loved him so but i let him go
         Dm                      C
'cause i knew he'd never love me back

Dm
Such pain as this
                       C
Shouldn't have to be experienced
          Dm
I'm still reeling from the loss,
                     C            G
Still a little bit delirious, yeah

Am      F         C
Near to you, i am healing
         G
But it's taking so long
Am                 F
'cause though he's gone
            C
And you are wonderful
     G
It's hard to move on
Am       F              C
Yet, i'm better near to you

( F C C F )

C                        F
You and i have something different
          Dm                C
And i'm enjoying it cautiously
C
I'm battle scarred,
         F
But i am working oh so hard
       Dm                    C
To get back to who i used to be

Dm                        C
He's disappearing, fading steadily
             Dm
Well, i'm so close to being yours,
          C                   G
Won't you stay with me, please

Am      F         C
Near to you, i am healing
         G
But it's taking so long
Am                 F
'cause though he's gone
            C
And you are wonderful
     G
It's hard to move on
Am       F
Yet, i'm better near to you.
Am       F      G          Dm
Yet, i'm better near to you

I am better where you are
Dm     A
I only know that
     Dm               A
I am better where you are
Dm      A            F
I only know that i belong
          G
Where you are

Am      F         C
Near to you, i am healing
         G
But it's taking so long
Am                 F
Though he's gone
            C
And you are wonderful
     G
It's hard to move on
Am      F         C
Near to you, i am healing
         G
But it's taking so long
