[C]Well, my old friend [F]said to me
that I ain’t [G]being what I’m [C]suppose to be
Well, I don’t know [F].. it could be true
I know I [G]wasn’t always [F]there for you [G]
And now [C]you’re ready to walk out
[F]You’re ready to run
Talk to me, [G]can’t you see
I would [F]never wanna [G]do what it [F]seems I’ve [G]done
You [C]can’t deal me the aces and [F]think I wouldn’t play
don’t let this be the [G]reason you would [F]walk away [G] [F] [G] [C]


The things you think [F]that I should do
I’ve never -[G]understood that [C]part of you
You know I’ve tried [F]to be a friend
But you feel [G]undermined and [F]hurt again [G] [F] [G]
Now, [C]don’t let it convince you
[F]please don’t take it to heart
compromise and [G]realize
you can [F]never really [G]run every-[F]thing you start [G]
you [C]can’t deal me the aces and [F]think I wouldn’t play
don’t let this be the [G]reason you would [F]walk away [G] [F] [G] [C]


[C]And I guess I said I [F]couldn’t see
how things could [G]turn out like [C]they’ve come to be
And if I lied [F]and if I knew
Well I was [G]only trying to [F]think of you [G]
And now [C]you’re ready to walk out
[F]You’re ready to run
Talk to me, [G]can’t you see
I would [F]never wanna [G]do what it [F]seems I’ve [G]done
You [C]can’t deal me the aces and [F]think I wouldn’t play
don’t let this be the [G]reason you would [F]walk away [G] [F] [G] [C] [F]
Don’t let this be the [G]reason you would [F]walk away [G]
