Leaving's hard...trust me, it's really bad
Em C G
It'll shake ya, damn-near break ya, it always has
Am Em C
You don't go until you're praying to break even,
Am C G
Until staying's worse than leaving
E C G D
God knows we tried everything that we could do
E C G
You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to
Am Em C
Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason,
Am C G
I know staying's worse than leaving

It's gotta get better, it can't get worse
Em
Hope it's a blessing not a curse

I don't care who passes judgement on my reasons

Both our hearts let go a long time ago
Em C G
Words leave scars and Lord knows they heal slow

Our love died but somehow we are both still breathin'
Am Em C
I just hope someday we'll look back on this grievin'
Am G
and say, staying's worse than leaving
Am G
Yeah, that staying's worse than leaving
(slow)
Am C
Yeah, that staying's...
G
...worse than leaving
