G  Bm  D  G


Verse 1:
    G               A
You left, needed to find yourself
        D                A                Bm
Just an excuse to go and look for someone else
       G            A
You're back, you're thinking just like that
         D                A               Bm
I can forgive, but let me tell you what I can't forget

Pre-Chorus:
   G
Me standing there
       A
As you walked away
  D              A             Bm
Ignoring me when I was begging you to stay
          G
You never turned around
    A
Not even once
        D                        A                Bm
While I called your name, said, "Is this what you really want?"


Chorus:
              D  A     Bm
But they were    empty words
G               A            Bm
Now I'm way too numb to ever let them hurt
    G              A
You didn't get the best of me
  D       A        Bm
I rescued what was left of me
G                A               Bm      A
Save it, you can keep your empty words


Verse 2:
       G             A
You're here, through crocodile tears
              D               A                 Bm
You make your case describing how much you have changed
       G                 A
You're sure, 'cause it's always worked before
        D                     A                   Bm
You can persuade me you won't doubt your feelings anymore


Pre-Chorus:
   G
So confident
           A
But you'll be surprised
   D                A             Bm
It took a while but I can finally recognize
            G
I'm so much better off
     A
With   someone else
        D                  A                  Bm
Who can see what they have when it's right in front of them


Chorus:
          D       A     Bm
And won't give me empty words
G               A            Bm
Now I'm way too numb to ever let them hurt
    G              A
You didn't get the best of me
  D                Bm
I rescued what was left of me
G                A               G
Save it, you can keep your empty words


Interlude:
G  Bm  D  G
G  Bm  D  G


Chorus:
                D  A     Bm
Don't need your    empty words
G               A            Bm
Now I'm way too numb to ever let them hurt
    G              A
You didn't get the best of me
  D                Bm
I rescued what was left of me
G                A               Bm      A
Save it, you can keep your empty words
