[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
 
[Interlude] * w/ GUITAR RIFF (1st 4 measures), see above
 
E5     B5   A5           B5 
              I won't be there
E5     B5   A5           B5 
 
[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
   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
 
I won't be there

A  E/G#  A
 
B              A
  This is the last___ night
       E/G#          F#11
That I spend at home
                      Asus2
And it won't take too long
             Asus2/B
For you to notice
           Asus2/C#            B
Won't take long for you to find___ out
         E5   B5      C#5 A5 B5 
That I'm gone
 
[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
 
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
       A5
'Cause when you wake up
B5
  I won't be there
