Verse 1:
D
You and I both appear
D
We already made the deal
Em C
By the time I change my mind
G C
Couldn't make the sense to find
D
The reason that I left you running
D
Keeping from the things I'm saying
Em C
Saying just to get you naked
G C
I just want you to trust me
Chorus:
G C D
I told you that I love you
G C D
Just so that I could lie beside you
Em C
I knew you'd understand I'm leaving
G C G
That it's been this way before
Verse 2:
D
Trying hard to make it work
D
To own the things that measure what
Em C
I'm reaching for is really worth
G C
And to keep from losing faith
D
I've been lost in sleeping pills
D
Worry that i'm overdriven
Em C
Moments I'm alone and thinking
G C G
Wishing that there was someone
Chorus:
G C D
I told you that I love you
G C D
Just so that I could lie beside you

I knew you'd understand I'm leaving

Verse 3:
D
In the same room finally searching
D
Looking for another reason
Em C
You and I should be together
G C
Don't act like you can't surrender
D
This is not a love affair
D
Neither one of us should start to think that
Em C
I'm settling for you
G C G
It's just like the first time...
Chorus:
G C D
I told you that I love you
G C D
Just so that I could lie beside you

I knew you'd understand I'm leaving

Verse 4:
D
Till you beat me to the door
D
At least it seemed the things that I control
Em C
Turned out the way I planned em'
G C
Nothing's different here about you
D
Telling me that since the last time
D
Somehow you fooled yourself to
Em C
Thinking that I'm falling for you
G C G
Never meant a word when..
Chorus:
G C D
I told you that I love you
G C D
Just so that I could lie beside you
Em C
I knew you'd understand I'm leaving
G C G
That it's been this way before
