Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro – x2

 Don't mind if you treat me bad again

 I don't care anymore

Life's too short to make trouble out of small things

It is better this way

I'm sort of laid back today

Repeat

I close my ears when words come flying out

I've heard them all before

With just a lot of hope flushing down the drain

It is better this way

I am going away

I try to learn some more

Instead of dragging the both of us down

If I separate ways

It's never easy this way

It's never easy this way

(The same for the next verse and chorus)

my palms are sweating I'm barely aware

when I'm turning down

A soulful life that is what I've been told

Think it's better this way

I won't regret it one day

I try to learn some more

Instead of dragging the both of us down

If I separate ways

It's never easy this way

It's never easy this way

Talk to me, throw the ball back

I've been here before

 There is no turning down

Talk to me, just tell it like it is

Just two free souls going out each other at each other

(Its then once again the verse chords and then the chorus chords)

We’re at the crossroad, going separate ways

Time to say it as it is

And if we bump into each other one day

We'll be better then

Maybe we can start all over again

Yeah, I try to learn some more

Instead of dragging the both of us down

If I separate ways

It's never easy this way

It's never easy this way

I try to learn some more

Instead of dragging the both of us down

If I separate ways

It's never easy this way

It's never easy this way
