[Verse]
Em C G D
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

Am C G
and say, staying's worse than leaving
Am C G
Yeah, that staying's worse than leaving
[Outro]
Am C
Yeah, that staying's...
