Verse 1:
   C               G
I can still feel your arms wrapped around me
    C               G
But I’m scared ‘cause I’m not sure you know

Now I’m leaving, I’m ready to go

You don’t need me, I’ll just disappoint you

Yeah I’m sure you’ll be fine on your own
   Em    Bm     C
Even better in fact, I am quite sure of that
      C        D     G
‘Cause I’m leaving but I’m not going home

  Wasn’t it nice to know the truth?

When you wanted to wave

Verse 3:
   C            G
Everyone in the front row is singing
      C           G
With their hands held over their hearts
     Em      Bm   C
And that sweet melody wraps itself around me
     C      D       G
And it’s nice but we know it’s not ours


Verse 4:
    C          G
And I’m trying to be a good person
   C             G
But I don’t think that trying’s enough
     Em     Bm     C
When I’m drunk by myself and I miss you like hell
    C       D      G
Well I guess that without you I’m stuck


Pre-chorus:
Bm          Em    G
  Wasn’t it nice to know the truth?

  Damn did it hurt to know the truth
Bm      Em       C
  If I could take back what I know of

  Those things that she did to you
C    Em   D
Yeah you know I would wave

Hello sunshine
   C    G      D
Where have you been for so long?

I miss you sometimes

I don’t know where you go when you’re gone
