[Verse 1]
Em           C              G
I think it's time that I be honest
Em             C          G
Should've told you not to go
Em        C                G
Thought I knew just what I wanted
Em            C         G
I didn't know myself at all


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                     C
You're with somebody I can't be, yeah
Bm                         C
But I can tell that you're happy


[Chorus]
              Em                 C        G
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new
            Em             C              G
Take her to all the places that I took us to
              Em             C           G                D             Em
And she might help me forget that loving her is something I could never do
C         G
Because I had
          Em  C    G
Because I had you


[Verse 2]
Em            C      G
Hey, remember when I told you
             Em                C       G
That you and I will go down in history together, yeah
Em            C          G
And does your sister ask about me?
        Em                    C    G
You and I, what we had, is it gone forever?


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                     C
You're with somebody I can't be
Bm                         C
But I can tell that you're happy


[Chorus]
              Em                 C        G
It's time for me to finally meet somebody new
            Em             C              G
Take her to all the places that I took us to
              Em             C           G                  D           Em
And she might help me forget that loving her is something I could never do
C         G
Because I had
          Em
Because I had you


[Bridge]
        C        G
There's nothin', oh
                        Em
There's nothin' left to lose
C             G
Because I had you, babe
Em      C       G
There's nothin'
                     Em
Nothin' that I could do
  C          G
I wish I had you


[Chorus]
                 Em             C              G
But I think it's time I finally found somebody new
            Em                          C      G
And tell myself that she's the one that get me through
              Em             C          G                D               Em
And she might help me forget but loving her is something I just couldn't do
C
Because I had you
