Intro – Dm C Am G x2 Dm C Am G Don't mind if you treat me bad again Dm C Am G I don't care anymore Dm C Am G Life's too short to make trouble out of small things F C It is better this way F C 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 Am F C G I try to learn some more Am F C G Instead of dragging the both of us down Am F C G If I separate ways Dm C It's never easy this way F C 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 Am Em Talk to me, throw the ball back F I've been here before G There is no turning down Am Em Talk to me, just tell it like it is F 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
