Gonna Get Over You - Sara Bareilles (from Kaleidoscope Heart) *there is a walking bass line, but these are the underlying chords [Intro]
C
Goodbye, Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?

                      C C/B Am
Layin' down the law that I live by,

                        C
Though maybe next time
[Verse 1]
C
I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
                C C/B Am
Simmer then the burn for a someone,

        Bb 
A wrong one

        F                                       G
And I tell myself to let the story end,

        Em                              Am
My heart will rest in someone else's hand

        F                             G
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say [Chorus]
C                                       Am
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

                F                       G
I'll be alright, just not tonight

C                                       Am
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

                F                       G
I'll be alright, just not tonight,

C               
Someday
[Verse 2]
C                               
Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me

                        C C/B Am
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,

C
Hang from your hands

C
Well, no more, I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door

                        C C/B Am
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?

Bb
It's not me anymore

F                                               G
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,

        Em                              Am
I dare you darling, just you wait and see

                F                                 G
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say [Chorus]
C                                       Am
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

F                                       G
I'll be alright, just not tonight

C                               Am
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

F                                       G
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday [Verse 3]
Fm              C
say it's coming soon,

                Am
Someday without you,

                Ab              G
All I can do is get me past the ghost of you,

Fm              C
Wave goodbye to me,

              Am
won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
Ab              G
once I find the other side of

C
someday

C Am F G C Am F G etc
oohoohooohoohooh. . .
[Chorus]
C                                       Am
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

F                                       G
I'll be alright, just not tonight

C                               Am
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay

F                                       G
I'll be alright, just not tonight,

C
Someday
