Intro: Ebm  C# B   C#   x2


Verse 1:
                 Ebm
So let's set the scene
He walked out 
   C# B
to a  busy street
In the summer heat
     C#               Ebm
Hazy from the night before
Not the type to 
 C#   B
spend one alone
Even though he knows
         C#
Come the morning
         Ebm C# B
he'll be gone
              C#
Just moving on


Verse 2:
Ebm             C# B
   She awoke in an empty bed
The sting of regret
         C#         Ebm
Creeping into every bone
On the nightstand
C# B
a  note that read
"Girl I won't be back
      C#                Ebm
you deserve better than that"
    C#    B
She would cry if 
                 C#
she could lie to herself
            Ebm
Cause she's used 
   C#  B
to the first time
                 C#
Always being her last


Chorus:
               Ebm
Can you see it dripping 
     C#       B
down from her lips
                     C#
Dancing on her fingertips?
                Ebm  C#       B
Can you see the pain that she hides
                   C#
Deep inside in her eyes?
            Ebm  C#      B
This is all just what it seems
                     C#
Give me just another dream
                  Ebm         C# B
Could be that the end doesn't al ways
Just justify the means
               C#
Sometimes it's better to just leave


Post chorus: 
Ebm  C# B

               C#             Ebm  C# B  C#
Sometimes it's better to just leave


Verse 3:
                   Ebm
So let's set this straight
Two weeks later 
C#   B
he's back again
City of sin
          C#             Ebm
And she's acting out her role
              C#    B
She arrives a touch at the waist
To another pretty face
          C#
And she's taking
         Ebm
this one home
    C#   B
She will lie and he 
         C#
will buy her lines
               Ebm   C#  B
Cause you were never the first
                            C#
She tries that sh*t all the time


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
B          Ebm
  She's so afraid of 
             B
what she's become
                      F#
She's begging just to feel 
    C#           B
something for anyone
             C#
Nothing can stand
but she's made up her
Ebm
Mind is all I can't 
     F#
hang on now
C#            B
She is on her own
Get out while you 
 C#
still have some heart left
Ebm
   You can't say "so 
C#/F
long" with no hope


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro: With Guitar Solo on 2nd Guitar
Ebm  C# B

               C#             Ebm  C# B  C#
Sometimes it's better to just leave
               C#             Ebm  C# B  C#
Sometimes it's better to just leave
               C#             Ebm  C# B  C#
Sometimes it's better to just leave
               C#             Ebm(hold)
Sometimes it's better to just leave
