Standard Tuning
Capo can be used to adjust key for singing.

When I play, I like to transition from D to Dsus4 with a hammer on the high E
string.  It's not necessary, but it sounds better I think.

Chords used:

Intro:
=======
            x2

Verse 1:
=========
  
I never knew perfection ‘til
  
I heard you speak, and now it kills me

Just to hear you say the simple things.

    
Now waking up is hard to do
    
And sleeping’s impossible too
                            
Everything’s reminding me of you

What can I do?

Chorus:
========
               
It’s not right, not okay
     		 
Say the word that you'll say
            
Maybe we’re better off this way
            
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
              
It’s harder everyday
            
Maybe we’re better off this way

It’s better that we break..

Verse 2:
=========
  
A fool to let you slip away
  
I chase you just to hear you say
       				    
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

    
The city looks so nice from here

Pity I can’t see it clearly
                                 
While you’re standing there, it disappears

It disappears

Chorus:
========
               
It’s not right, not okay
     		 
Say the word that you'll say
            
Maybe we’re better off this way
            
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
              
It’s harder everyday
            
Maybe we’re better off this way

It’s better that we break up

Bridge:
========
               
Saw you sitting all alone
                     
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right

Life these days is getting rough

It knocks you down and beats you up
                             
But it’s just a roller coaster anyway, yeah

Chorus:
========
               
It’s not right, not okay
     		 
Say the word that you'll say
            
Maybe we’re better off this way
            
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
            
It’s harder everyday
            
Maybe we’re better off this way

               
It’s not right, not okay
     		 
Say the word that you'll say
            
Maybe we’re better off this way
            
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
            
It’s harder everyday
            
Maybe we’re better off this way

It’s better that we break.. baby
