[Verse 1]
F#m              C#m          D
Wake up to your call at six A.M
F#m                C#m                   D
I've been sleepin’ fine, it's clear you haven't been
  F#m                  C#m                  D
I thought I turned my phone off, won’t make that mistake again
F#m                  C#m       D
How could there be anymore to say?


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m                    C#m
Let's not talk for the thousandth time
D
You've said your peace and I've said mine
F#m               C#m        D
And I'm thinkin' it's too late
       F#m                     C#m
'Cause I’ve been tryin’ to let go of you
      D
But you hold on, like you always do
F#m                C#m           D
Trying to make me think you've changed


[Chorus 1]
       F#m           D
’Cause on and on we go
    A                  E
If I don't stand for what I know
           F#m           D
I'm not stringin' you along
      A                E
Into thinkin’ it's a perfect love song
F#m                D
Where we kiss and make up
           A               E
No honey, this song is a break-up
        F#m            D
'Cause being kind to you
        A                 E           D
Is the meanest thing that I could ever do

[Verse 2]
 F#m            C#m            D
Was it love or was it just a habit?
 F#m          C#m              D
A pattern I create and then I crash it
  F#m              C#m            D
I can't say yes or no, or if we ever had it
     F#m       C#m        D
But somehow I knew, we'd end up this way


[Pre-Chorus 2]
   F#m                  C#m
So let's not talk for the thousandth time
D
You've said your peace and I've said mine
F#m               C#m        D
And I'm thinkin' it's too late
        F#m                    C#m
'Cause I’ve been tryin’ to let go of you
      D
But you hold on, like you always do
  F#m             C#m      D
I won't make the same mistake


[Chorus 2]
       F#m           D
’Cause on and on we go
    A                  E
If I don't stand for what I know
           F#m           D
I'm not stringin' you along
      A                E
Into thinkin’ it's a perfect love song
F#m                D
Where we kiss and make up
           A               E
No honey, this song is a break-up
        F#m            D
'Cause being kind to you
        A                 E             F#m
Is the meanest thing that I could ever do


[Bridge]
                    D
Time won't make me love you
A                   E                            F#m
  I won't waste my heart on what I know isn't true
           D               A           E
How many times can I say goodbye? Goodbye?


[Chorus 3]
A             A/C#
Bein' mean to you
        D
Is the kindest thing that I could do
         A              A/C#
I'm not stringin' you along
       D
Into thinkin' it's a perfect love song
D                  A
Where we kiss and make up
           F#m              E
No honey, this song is a break-up
        D             A
'Cause being kind to you
        F#m               E
Is the meanest thing that I could ever do

[Outro]
       F#m          D   A   E
'Cause on and on we go
       F#m          D   A   E
'Cause on and on we go
       D
'Cause on and on we go
       D
'Cause on and on we go
       D
'Cause on and on we go
       D
'Cause on and on we go
