C*                     C*
Hey, i dont wanna stay,
                        G*
No i dont wanna be your second option really,
    G*
You probably should've told me,
Am*      Am                                    F
Could've left me sooner so i could get moving along, long,
F
Oh, oh, oh, oh,

[Verse 2]
C                         C
'Cause i don't wanna know,
                             G
No i don't wanna know what's going on in your head,
    G
The skeletons in your bed,
    Am                          Am
You really screwed it up but im still gonna save you a
F                      F
Seat on your next birthday

[Chorus]
                    C    C
'cause i promised i would
                 G     G
Yes i promised i would,
                 Am    Am
Yes i promised i would,
                 F     F
Yes i promised i would,

[Verse 3]
C                                              C
Can we take a chance? Why don't you understand?
                                           G
We could've had it all, i was making plans,
                                               G
You threw my love away, buried it in the grave,
                                                       Am
It makes me want to curl away, you used to say my name,
                                         Am
I don't wanna hear you talk, your golden heart,
                                          F
Let's throw your hands in some pockets, away,
        F
I don't wanna be your second option,

[Chorus]
                    C     C
Think i'd rather be alone,
                      G     G
I think i'd rather be alone,
                      Am             Am
I think i'd rather be alone, alone, alone,
                      F              F                           C  
I think i'd rather be alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone

[outro]
                       G*    
I think i'd rather be alone,
                       Am*
I think i'd rather be alone,
                       F*
I think i'd rather be alone
