Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Is it hard to believe I'm okay?
After all, it's been awhile
Since you walked away
I'm way past crying
Over you finding someone new
You turn my days into night
But now I see the light
And this may be a big surprise to you
Chorus
(But/Cause) You've made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You've taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you've made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye
If you'd rather believe I'm not over you
Go ahead, there's nothing wrong
With making believe
I know, cause I used to pretend
You'd come back to me
But time has been such a friend
Brought me to my senses again
And I have you to thank
For setting me free
(Repeat Chorus except last line)
Baby, by saying goodbye
Bridge
Think again
Don't feel so sorry for me, my friend
Oh, don't you know
I'm not the one at the losing end
(Repeat Chorus moving chords 1/2 step
higher)
except last line)
Baby, by saying
You made me stronger by saying goodbye
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You've taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you've made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye, goodbye
Yes, you've made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye
