G/B C D Em
β« Verse:
G/B C G
Jackets still hanging on the edge of my bed
D Em
The things you forgot make it hard to forget
G/B C
So I'm right here hanging on by a thread
D G
Right where you left me
G/B
Cologne on my pillow
C
Open all the windows
D
Said I was gonna clear the air
Em
But if I'm being real though
G/B C
I'm still here hanging on by a thread
D
Right where you left me
β« Chorus:
G/B Em
Well it's hard waking up in the morning
C G
And it's hard getting' sleep at night
G/B
And it's hard when I'm reeling
Em
Staring at the ceiling
C G
With you on my mind
G/B Em
And it's hard holding on to nothing
C G
With my arms 'round the emptiness
G/B
But it's harder to let go
Em C G
Why you gotta be so easy to miss?
G/B C
G D Em
Why you gotta be, gotta be, gotta be
β« Verse:
B/Eb
I can try to take a breather
C
I can step outside

But I'm no good at getting you off my mind
G/B C
I end up getting nowhere no matter how many miles
D
I get behind me

Well it's hard waking up in the morning
C G
And it's hard getting' sleep at night

C G
With you on my mind
G/B Em
And it's hard holding on to nothing

With my arms 'round the emptiness

Why you gotta be so easy to miss?

Why you gotta be so easy to miss?
