Intro : G#, B

Verse 1:

G#                             B G#             
There's never really a good time to say goodbye

                B
But don't pretend

G#
It's not a relief to hear me say:

B    G#                                   B
"I'm thinking, right now, maybe we should end it"


Chorus 1:

                 G# B A C#
Because it's true

                       G# B A C#
The closer I get to you,

                             G# B A C#
The further I get away from me

                              F# B A C# B  E
 (the person that I used to be)


Verse 2:

G#                              B
It wasn't always like this before;

G#                                   B
That we were in love there is no doubt

G#                                              B
But I'm not happy anymore and, for that reason, I'm out


Chorus 2:
            G# B A C#
And it's true

                      G# B A C#
The closer I get to you,

                             G# B A C#
The further I get away from me 

                             F# B A C# B  E
(the person that I ought to be)


Verse 3:

G#                     B
This is no longer any fun

G#                                                            B
This couple will never be strolling into a blood red setting sun

G#                         B
While the end credits are rolling


Chorus 3:
            G# B A C#
And it's true

                      G# B A C#
The closer I get to you,

                             G# B A C#
The further I get away from me 


                              F# B A C# B  E
(the person that I ought to be)
