Intro:
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Verse 1:
[G]I was walking, with your [C]left hand in my back pocket,
[G]and I stared at the sky, while you k[C]issed me.
[G]and you were running away, [C]away from everything.
[G]and I stayed behind, so [C]you'd miss me.
[D]And while these [Dsus4]words will sound so [C]sweet.
Chorus:
I [G]could care less about you, [C]care less about you,
[G]and I love the sound [C]of you walking away.
and I can, [G]see clearer, and I'm[C] getting closer
to [G]finding out just who I am[C] without you in the way.
So [D]hold me[Dsus4]...... [D]but [C]only..... for [G]today.
Break:
[C] [G] [C]
Verse 2:
[G]Despite my best ambition, I[C] get into the worse situations
[G]but here I am, a crystal[C] clean,
and [G]on the nights so lonely, [C]the words I say to you are phony,
[G]because there's nothing left to [C]say.
[D]and though you sa[Dsus4]y you can't [C]live without me
[D]and every single [Dsus4]night you t[C]hink about me.
Chorus:
I [G]could care less about you, [C]care less about you,
[G]and I love the sound[C] of you walking away.
and I can, [G]see clearer, and I'm[C] getting closer
to [G]finding out just who I am[C] without you in the way.
So [D]hold me[Dsus4]...... [D]but [C]only..... for [G]today.
