Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

E5
I don't wanna make this

Harder than I have to
E                     A
This is how it has to be
           E                     F#m
There's so many things I want to say
                   A
But you just don't listen to me


Pre-Chorus:

E5                 B5
I don't wanna hurt you
A5                   B5
You don't wanna hurt me
E5            B5
I can't stand you
    A5              B5
And you can't stand me
   E5
We can't rearrange
B5        F#5
You could never change me
A5
Say goodbye

Nothing I say could change your mind because...

Chorus:

E5      B5
I can't stay
A5                 E5    B5
  Tomorrow I'll be on my way
A5                   E5      B5       F#
  So don't expect to find me sleeping in my bed
       Asus2
'Cause when you wake up
B5
  I won't be there

Verse 2:

E5
Everything I say

You find a way to make it
E                          A
Sound like I was born just yesterday
    E
And everything you taught me
F#m
Doesn't mean a thing
       A
So I'm going my way

Pre-Chorus:

E5                 B5
I don't wanna hurt you
A5                   B5
You don't wanna hurt me
E5            B5
I can't stand you
    A5              B5
And you can't stand me

We can't rearrange
B5        F#5
You could never change me
A5
Say goodbye

Nothing I say could change your mind because...
