Note
There are a lot of hammer on & offs between the Fsus2 & Fmaj7, and C2 & C chords.
Instead of writing them all, I’m just going to put the main chords and you can listen to
recording for timing of the hammer on & offs.
Note

Intro: Fmaj7 – Fmaj7 – C – Gsus4 (x2)

Verse 1:

Maybe I’m the joker, Maybe I’m the fool in your eyes

Maybe I’m the weak one, Maybe I’m a lie in disguise

Maybe I’m angry, ‘Cause I’m the one who’s always wrong

Maybe I’m not the one, who’s so strong

Verse 2:

But did ya think about it, Did ya pull it in and pull out

Could you live without me, Did you ever really have a doubt

But do you understand it baby, When you say its over it’s done

Maybe I’m not the one

Chorus 1:

F C Gsus4
So If you’re gonna Leave, Ya you better get going

‘Cause I ain’t wasting no more time, What ya did and what ya didn’t

F C Gsus4
So if you’re gonna leave, Ya you better start running

‘Cause I ain’t wasting no more time

What it might have been[-][-][-]

Verse 3:

We can stand on reason, We can fight about all the things

This isn’t for forever, This is more than a wedding ring

But do you understand it baby, When you say it’s over it’s done

Maybe I’m not the one

Chorus 2:

F C Gsus4
So If you’re gonna Leave, Ya you better get going

‘Cause I ain’t wasting no more time, What I did and what I didn’t

F C Gsus4
So if you’re gonna leave, Ya you better start running

‘Cause I ain’t wasting no more time

Bridge:

Whoa, did it happen again, The things that you wanted, for being a friend

How did it happen again, Just look onward baby

Gsus4 F C Gsus4 Am Fmaj7
‘Cause some day you might need a friend………………..friend

Chorus 3:

F C Gsus4
So If you’re gonna Leave, Ya you better get going

‘Cause I ain’t wasting no more time, What we did and what we didn’t

F C Gsus4
So if you’re gonna leave, Ya you better start running

‘Cause I ain’t wasting no more time

I ain’t wasting no more time

What it might have been
