[Intro] C B11 Am Fmaj7 Am6 C B11 Am Fmaj7 Am6 [Verse 1]
        C   B11          Am
You can go  any time you want

        Fmaj7                 Am6
I won't watch if it hurts too much

           C     B11                Am
But if you stay, I promise you will be

Better to you and better to me

   I've been out to celebrate my new freedom

       Fm        G#             E       G7
With a drink to you, 'cause you made it new

And I hate for people A through Z

Everything, everything

       Fm        G#         E       G7
And forget other stuff if I drink enough

      C        B11           Am
To pretend that I got people too

I never asked .. your advice

How to be discreet and admit defeat

        C       B11             Am
You can go, and I'll say what I should
