        C   B11          Am
You can go  any time you want

I won't watch if it hurts too much
           C     
But if you stay,

I promise you will be

Better to you and better to me

my new freedom

With a drink to you, 
           E       G7
'cause you made it new

Everything, everything

   I know how to celebrate

 my new freedom
       Fm        G#        
And forget other stuff if  
  E        G7
I drink enough
      C       
To pretend that 
 B11         Am
 I got people too

People I know who care 
       Am6
what I do

I never asked    your advice

   I know how to handle a situation

How to be discreet and 
E      G7
admit defeat
        C       B11    
You can go, and I'll say 
        Am
what I should

I'm-a doin' okay, pretty good
