Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I watch the days rush by  me like a river
 I shouldn't wait, but I'm scared  to touch the water
 I let the phone ring, why  won't you believe me
 I wait for silence, takes  a lot not to answer
 All I have to say is
  You don't deserve  me, you don't deserve  me
 I'm finally walking away
  Cause you don't deserve  me, and you're not worthy
 And I won't let you pull me in
  Because I know you're gonna win
  But the war is over
 And I won't fight you anymore
  I have never been so sure
  Cause the war is over
 I used to let you paint  a pretty pictures
 You got me caught up with your "you're  my girl forever"
 So I forgive you, it felt  good when you hold me
 Yeah you owned me
  Now you wish  you had really known me
 All I have to say is
  You don't deserve  me, you don't deserve  me
 I'm finally walking away,  cause you only hurt  me
  And you're not worthy
 And I won't let you pull me in
  Because I know you're gonna win
  But the war is over
 And I won't fight you anymore
  I have never been so sure
  Cause the war is over
  This is not  my surrender
  I'm not running  for cover
  I'm right here,  I know you see  me
  But your words  no longer defeat  me
  In the night  when you're lonely
  You remember  how much you miss  me
  So you call,  well I swear
  You can try  a million times, you'll get the same  message
 All I have to say is
  You don't deserve  me, you don't deserve  me
 I'm finally walking away,  cause you only hurt  me
  And you're not worthy
 And I won't let you pull me in
  Because I know you're gonna win
  But the war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
 The war is over
