Verse:
 
E          B     F#            E           B           F# 
  I threw away a lifetime, you laughed and called it a sin 
E               B         F#                       E           B          F# 
  There ain't never gonna be a way to work it out, not after a night like this 
E          B        F#               E        B      F# 
  I've been waiting on your call now just the silence and me 
E            B          F#                       E           B          F# 
  I know you want me to chase you around but I'm so tired of asking you please 



    B                       E                         F# 
I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on 
            B                    E                       F# 
There'll be no sleepless nights, I'll be alright from now on 
                                    E B F#, 
I'm better off now that you're gone

I'm better off now that you're gone 



Verse:
 
E            B      F#                    E    B           F# 
  You put me so far down girl, I couldn't even stand on my own 
E           B         F#                  E    B      F# 
  Ghosts of you would come back to me whenever I was alone 
E         B            F#                     E         B                 F# 
  Now the candles have all burned out and the doors are locked and chained 
  E       B           F#                E            B            F# 
I Have no doubts this time I've figured out a way to end all your games 


    B                       E                         F# 
I'm through with this, I'll forget your kiss and move on 
            B                    E                       F# 
There'll be no sleepless nights, I'll be alright from now on 
                                    E B F#, 
I'm better off now that you're gone 
                                    E B F#, 
I'm better off now that you're gone

  Nights filled with empty bottles and picking up broken glass 
C#m             F#                        E                     B           F# 
  I should have known from the very first night, that this just never would last
