A         D              A
Girl, I’m sorry, but I’m
 leaving.

We’re both at fault, 
        E
we’re both to blame.

   A                   D     
It wasn’t the other men, 
                       A
‘cause there were other women.

                    E
This just isn’t love,

                            A  
it’s just the remorse of a 
G#  F#
loss of a feelin’.

     A           E      
Even if I stayed, it just 
                  A
wouldn’t be the same.

make it to the moon

A            B             
tonight on a one way kamikaze 
                      D
flight. If I could get so high,

                             E
I’ll leave behind my problems,


Take then out with the empty
