And ^EI can’t be with^B you, I don’t even^F#m want to, I just w^Aish your ghosts were go^Bne, Cause I^E’m ready to ^Blove, I’ve been^F#m guarded^A long enough.

C#m F#m E G#m It’s taken a lot to forgive you, Oh it’s taken me so long, I tried in vain to forget you, Oh I tried everything, But I won’t be free, 'til I’ve made peace with never knowing, What went wrong and was the fault in me. And I can’t be with you, I don’t even want to, I just wish your ghosts were gone, Cause I’m ready to love, I’ve been guarded long enough.

^C#mI’ve ^Abeen g^Euard^Bed long enough, ^C#mI’ve ^Abeen g^Euard^Bed long enough, ^C#mI’ve ^Abeen g^Euard^Bed long enough to know, ^C#mI’m r^Aeady, ^EI’^Bm ready, ^C#mI’m r^Aeady, ^EI’^Bm ready, ^C#mI’m r^Aeady, ^EI’^Bm ready, ^C#mI’m r^Aeady, ^EI’^Bm ready now.
