  Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
Cmaj7Cmaj7        Cmaj7Cmaj7
 I've been here many times before
        F13sus        F13F13
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand

I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
      Gb7Gb7 F13sus          F13F13
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone

Then I must be prepared any time to carry on

Verse 2:
Cmaj7Cmaj7          Cmaj7Cmaj7
  You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Cmaj7Cmaj7      Cmaj7Cmaj7
  Wilt away on lies from you
        F13sus         F13F13
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
         Am/GAm/G             Dm7/G
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
      Gb7Gb7 F13sus          F13F13
Livin' on my  own, somehow that sounds nice
          Am/GAm/G            Dm7/G
You think I'm your fool, well, you may just be right

I keep holding on        I keep holding on
