Lyrics

It was a (Fmaj7)Mon day night when you (G)told me it (Am)was o ver, babe.

And by the (Fmaj7)Fri day night, I (G)knew that I (Am)would be o kay.

Don’t say it was a (Fmaj7)good thing,

don’t say it was the (Fmaj7)right thing to (Am7)do.

Don’t say it was the (Fmaj7)best thing,

for the (G)both of (Am)us, when (Bb)I’m the one play ing the fool.

What do you want from me when (G)I just (Am)wan na re (Fmaj7)start?

(G)You keep com ing back for me when (G)you’re the one who (Am)tore us a part.

The (F)truth is I’m bet ter (Am)on my own.

And (F)I don’t wan na live in the past.

So let me re (Fmaj7)start.

(Am)So let me re start.

(G)So let me re (Fmaj7)start.

You’ve been (Fmaj7)light ing up my phone wor ried (G)that I’ll be (Am)a lone to night.

Want to (Fmaj7)make sure that I’m fine, but (G)ba by, you’re (Am)not on my mind

no more.

I know it was the (Fmaj7)best thing,

for the (G)both of (Am)us, ’cause (Bb)you’re the one who looks like the fool.

What do you want from me when (G)I just (Am)wan na re (Fmaj7)start?

(G)You keep com ing back for me when (G)you’re the one who (Am)tore us a part.

The (F)truth is I’m bet ter (Am)on my own.

And (F)I don’t wan na live in the past.

So let me re (Fmaj7)start.

(Am)So let me re start.

(G)So let me re (Fmaj7)start.

What do you want (Bbmaj7)start.

So let me re (Bbmaj7)start.

So let me re (Bbmaj7)start.

So let me re start.

So let me re (Bbmaj7)start.
