Lyrics:
-VERSE 1-
E5E5
Katie, don't cry, I know
BB 
C#m7C#m7
You're trying your hardest
BB E5E5
And the hardest part is letting, go
Of the nights we shared
BB C#m7C#m7 BB
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
A5A5 
B5B5 C#m7C#m7 E5E5
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
A5A5 B5B5 C#m7C#m7 E5E5
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but I want it so
-PRE-CHORUS 1-
E5(second)
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
B5B5 C#m7C#m7
(I know he's there and)
BB
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
A5A5
(while across the room, he stares)
B5B5
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
B/C C#m7C#m7 BB
And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes
-CHORUS 1-
A5A5 B5B5
Because these words were never easier for me to say
B/C C#m7C#m7
Or her to second guess
BB
But I guess
F# minorF#m E7/G#
That I can live without you but
A5A5 B5B5 E5(second)
Without you I'll be miserable at best
-VERSE 2- (Changes Slightly)
(Continue from E5[second])
You're all that I hoped I'd find
C#m7C#m7
In every single way
BB
And everything I could give
E5(second)
Is everything you couldn't take
D#5D#5 C#m7C#m7
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
BB
And the hardest part of living
A5A5
Is just taking breaths to stay
B5B5
'Cause I know I'm good for something
B/C C#m7C#m7
I just haven't found it yet
BB
But I need it
-PRE-CHORUS 2- (Changes Slightly)
E MajorE
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
BB C#m7C#m7
(I know he's there and)
BB
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
A5A5
(while across the room, he stares)
B5B5
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
B/C C#m7C#m7 BB
And ask my girl to dance, she'll say yes
-CHORUS 2- (Changes Slightly)
A5A5 B5B5
Because these words were never easier for me to say
B/C C#m7C#m7
Or her to second guess
BB
But I guess
F# minorF#m E7/G#
That I can live without you but
A5A5 B5B5 E7/G#
Without you I'll be miserable at best

(Continue from E7/G#) A5A5 B5B5 B/C C#m7C#m7 BB
-BRIDGE-
E7/G# A5A5 B5B5 B/C C#m7C#m7 BB
Ladada Ladadaaa Ladada Laaaahohoohahooh Ooh
E7/G# A5A5 B5B5
And this will be the first time in a week
B/C
That I'll talk to you
C#m7C#m7
And I can't speak
BB
Been three whole days since I've had sleep
E7/G#
'Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
A5A5
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
B5B5 B/C
But we both know that I'm not that strong
C#m7C#m7 BB
And I miss the lips that made me fly
-REPEAT PRE-CHORUS 1-

Without you I'll be miserable
F# minorF#m E7/G#
And I can live without you but
A5A5 B5B5 E5E5
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best
