 I think about how  it might have been
 We'd spend our days  travelin'
 It's not that I don't understand  you
 It's not that I don't want  to be with you
 But you only  wanted me
 The way you wanted  me
 So, I will head  out alone  and  hope for the best
 And we can hang  our heads down
 As we  skip the goodbyes
 And you can tell  the world what you want  them to hear
 I've got nothing  left to lose,  my dear
 So, I'm up  for the little white lies
 But you and I  know the reason why
 I'm gone,  and you're still there
 I'm gone,  and you're still there
 I'm gone,  and you're still there
 I'll buy a magazine  searching for your face
 From coast to coast or wherever  I find my place
 I'll track you on the radio,  and
 I'll sign  your list in a different  name
 But as close  as I get to you
 It's not the same
 So, I will head  out alone  and  hope for the best
 We can  pat ourselves on the back
 And say that we tried
 And if one  of us makes it big
 We can spill  our regrets
 And talk  about how the love never dies
 But you and I  know the reason why
 I'm gone,  and you're still there
 I'm gone,  and you're still there
 I'm gone,  and you're still there
 So, steal the show, and do your best
 To cover the tracks that I have left
 I wish you well and hope you find
 Whatever you're looking for
 The way I might've changed my mind
 But you only showed me the door
 So, I will head  out alone  and  hope for the best
 We can  pat ourselves on the back
 And say that we tried
 And if one  of us makes it big
 We can spill  our regrets
 And talk  about how the love never dies
 But you and I
 
You and I--------
 You and I  know the reason why

[G] I think about how[C] it might have [G]been   [C]

[G] We'd spend our da[C]ys travelin'   [G]          [C]

[Am] It's not that I don't [G]understand you

[Am] It's not that I don't [G]want to be with you

But you [Am]only wanted me

The way you [C]wanted me

So, I will [G]head out a[C]lone and[G] hope for the [C]best

And we can [G]hang our heads down

As we[C] skip the good[G]byes  [C]

And you can [G]tell the world what you [C]want them to hear

I've got [Dm]nothing left to [Am]lose, my dear

So, I'm [Bm]up for the little white [Fd]lie[D]s

But you and [C]I    [D2]     know the reason [G]why

I'm [C]gone, and you're still [G]there

I'm [C]gone, and you're still [G]there

I'm [C]gone, and you're still [G]there

[G] I'll buy a magazine[C] searching for your [G]face    [C]

[G] From coast to coast or [C]wherever I find my [G]place   [C]

[Am] I'll track you on the [G]radio, and

I'll [Am]sign your list in a [Dm]different name

But as [Am]close as I get to you

It's not the [C]same

So, I will [G]head out a[C]lone and[G] hope for the [C]best

We [G]can pat ourselves on the back [C]

And say that we [G]tried   [C]

And if [G]one of us makes it [C]big

We can [Dm]spill our reg[Am]rets

And [Bm]talk about how the love never d[Fd]ies[D]

But you and [C]I    [D2]     know the reason [G]why

I'm [C]gone, and you're still [G]there

I'm [C]gone, and you're still [G]there

I'm [C]gone, and you're still [G]there

[Bm] So, steal the show, and do your [Fd]bes[D]t

To cover the tracks that I have [Am]left

I wish you well and hope you [D7]find

Whatever you're looking [Am]for

The way I might've changed my [D7]mind

But you only showed me the [Am]door  [Bm]         [C]              [D7]

So, I will [G]head out a[C]lone and[G] hope for the [C]best

We [G]can pat ourselves on the back [C]

And say that we [G]tried   [C]

And if [G]one of us makes it [C]big

We can [Dm]spill our reg[Am]rets

And [Bm]talk about how the love never d[Fd]ies[D]

But you and [C]I    [D2]

        [C]    [Fd] [D]
{sot}You and I--------{eot}

You and [C]I     [D2]        know the reason w[G]hy     [C]         [G]            [C]                [G]                   [C]                       [G]
