Standard (EADGBE)

Katie don't cry I know you're trying your hardest

 And the hardest part is letting go

Of the nights we shared

Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting

 but compared to your eyes

 nothing shines quite as bright

 And when we looked to the sky

 It’s not mine but I want it. So...

Chorus

Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)

You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

 And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

 (Because these words were never easier for me to say or /

Her to second-guess but I guess)

 That I can live without you but

 (Without I'll be miserable at best)

 You’re all that I hoped I'd find

 In every single way

 And everything I would give

 Is everything you couldn't take

 Cause nothing feels like home

 You’re a thousand miles away

 And the hardest part of living

 Is just taking breaths to stay

 Cause I know I'm good for something

 I just haven't found it yet

 And I need it so...

Chorus

Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)

You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

 And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

 (Because these words were never easier for me to say or /

Her to second-guess but I guess)

 That I can live without you but

 (Without I'll be miserable at best)

x2 (2nd time with ah dah dahs)

And this will be the first time in a week

 That I'll talk to you and I can't speak

 It’s been 3 whole days since I've had sleep

 Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek

 And I got the point that I should leave you alone

 But we both know that I'm not that strong

 And I miss the lips that made me fly so...

Chorus

Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight

(I know he's there and)

You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)

I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor

 And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes

 (Because these words were never easier for me to say or /

Her to second-guess but I guess)

 That I can live without you but

 (Without I'll be miserable)

That I can live without you but

(Without I'll be miserable)

That I can live without you but

 (Oh without I'll be miserable at best)
