[Verse 1]
Esus4            
    You were my home planet
E                                    A  E   C#   D  
    You were my stars, my holy place 
Esus4             
    Mmh, but you took me for granted
E                    
    Right from the start
                           A  E   C#   D  
    Now, didn't you, babe?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Esus4  
     And   I...
E                 
    Wish you the best of luck in finding
            A             E           C#   D  
    Someone else who's strong enough
    Esus4  
     And   I...
E               
    This is the only time
                        A        E          C#   D 
    I can't be keeping you from fucking up
 
 
[Chorus]
       Esus4               
    So       go ahead and do your worst
E                          
    But don't you go and cry when it hurts
         A     E      C#   D      
    Can you afford to  lo--se me?
Esus4             
    Go ahead and pack your bags
E                               
    But, once you're gone, you can't come back
         A     E      C#   D      
    Can you afford to  lo--se me?
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
        B5                    
And if you've still got that fire
       D            
Then prove it to me

[Verse 2]
Esus4           
    I was your life support machine
E                                        A  E   C#   D  
    Didn't you realize it was always me?
Esus4              
    I was always there to pick up the pieces
E                    
    When you were a full-blown catastrophe
A     E   C#   D  
    Yeah
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Esus4  
     And   I...
E                                               A
    Gave you the closest thing you ever had to love
        E        C#   D  
    So sober up
        Esus4     E
    And this  ti--ime
                 
    This is the final time, I'll draw the line
    A              E           C#   D  
    I've suffered long enough
 
 
[Chorus]
       Esus4               
    So       go ahead and do your worst
E                          
    But don't you go and cry when it hurts
         A     E       C#   D     
    Can you afford to  lo--se me?
Esus4             
    Go ahead and pack your bags
E                               
    But, once you're gone, you can't come back
         A     E      C#   D     
    Can you afford to  lo--se me?
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
            B5                    
    And if you've still got that fire
           D            
    Then prove it to me
N.C.
    Mmh

    Can you sleep without me?
F#m7           
    Can you breathe without me?
D              
    Don't you need somebody?
                        (Can you?)

[Outro]
Esus4             
    Go ahead and do your worst
E                          
    But don't you go and cry when it hurts
         A     E       C#   D     
    Can you afford to  lo--se me?
Esus4             
    Go ahead and pack your bags
E                          
    Once you're gone, you can't come back
         A     E       C#  D
    Can you afford to  lo--se me?
              You were my home planet
You were my stars, my holy place
But you took me for granted
Right from the start now
Didn't you, babe?

And I–
Wish you the best of luck in finding
Someone else who's strong enough
And I–
This is the only time
I can't be keeping you from fucking up

So go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
But once you're gone you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?
And if you've still got that fire
Then prove it to me

I was your life support machine
Didn't you realize it was always me?
I was always there to pick up the pieces
When you were a full-blown catastrophe
Yeah

And I–
Gave you the closest thing you ever had to love so sober up
And this time
This is the final time I'll draw the line
I've suffered long enough

So go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
'Cause once you're gone you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?
And if you've still got that fire
Then prove it to me

Can you sleep without me?
Can you breathe without me?
Don't you need somebody?
Somebody? (Can you?)

Can you sleep without me?
Can you breathe without me? (Oh-ohh)
Don't you need somebody? (Can you afford to?)

Go ahead and do your worst
But don't you go and cry when it hurts
Can you afford to lose me?
Go ahead and pack your bags
'Cause once you're gone you can't come back
Can you afford to lose me?
