C             Em          F          C
I should have known you'd bid me farewell.
          C            Em                          F               G
There's a lesson to be learned from this, and I've learned it very well.
F                 G            C               Am
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea.
     Dm              Em              F               G
If I never hear your name again it's all the same to me.

      Am                                       Dm
And I think it's gonna be all right. Yeah, the worst is over now,

C         Em        F              C
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.
    C               Em        F                  G
For you I'm just an ornament, something for your pride.
F               G             C                   Am
Always running, never caring: that's the life you live. 
Dm             Em                F              G
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give.

The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

And I think it's gonna be all right. Yeah, the worst is over now,

    C              Em        F            C
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.
     C              Em         F                 Am G
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at aaaaall.
F                  G               C            Am
The roller coaster ride we took is nearly at an end.
Dm                 Em                    F             G
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend.
