Lyrics:
Verse 1
[E5]Katie, don't cry, I know
You're [B]trying your [C#m7]hardest
And the hardest part[B] is letting, [E5]go
Of the nights we shared
[B]Ocala is [C#m7]calling and you know it's [B]haunting
But compared[A5] to your [B5]eyes, nothing [C#m7]shines quite as bright[E5]
And when we [A5]look to the [B5]sky, its not [C#m7]mine, but I want [E5]it so
Pre-Chorus 1
E5(second)
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I [B5]know he's there and)[C#m7]
You're probably hanging out and [B]making eyes
(while across the room, he [A5]stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to [B5]walk the floor
And [B/C]ask my girl to [C#m7]dance, she'll say[B] yes
Chorus 1
Because these [A5]words were never easier for [B5]me to say
Or [B/C]her to second [C#m7]guess
But I[B] guess
That [F#m]I can live [E7/G#]without you but
A5 B5 E5(second)
Without you I'll be miserable at best
Verse 2
(Changes Slightly)
(Continue from E5[second])
You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single [C#m7]way
And everything I could [B]give
E5(second)
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like [D#5]home, you're a thousand miles [C#m7]away
And the hardest part of [B]living
Is just taking breaths to [A5]stay
'Cause I know I'm good for [B5]something
I just [B/C]haven't found it [C#m7]yet
But I [B]need it
Pre-Chorus 2
(Changes Slightly)
[E]Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
(I [B]know he's there and)[C#m7]
You're probably hanging out and [B]making eyes
(while across the room, he [A5]stares)
I bet he gets the nerve to [B5]walk the floor
And [B/C]ask my girl to [C#m7]dance, she'll say[B] yes
Chorus 2
(Changes Slightly)
Because these [A5]words were never easier for [B5]me to say
Or [B/C]her to second [C#m7]guess
But I[B] guess
That [F#m]I can live [E7/G#]without you but
[A5]Without you I'll be [B5]miserable at [E7/G#]best
Instrumental
[E7/G#)] [A5] [B5] [B/C] [C#m7] [B]
Bridge
[E7/G#]Ladada [A5]Ladadaaa[B5] Ladada [B/C][C#m7]Laaaahohoohahooh [B]Ooh
[E7/G#]And this will be the [A5]first time in a [B5]week
That I'll talk to [B/C]you
And I can't [C#m7]speak
Been three whole days since I've had [B]sleep
'Cause I dream of his lips on your [E7/G#]cheek
And I got the point that I should [A5]leave you alone
But [B5]we both know that I'm [B/C]not that strong
And[C#m7] I miss the lips that made me [B]fly
Last Chorus/Outro
Because these [A5]words were never easier for [B5]me to say
Or [B/C]her to second [C#m7]guess
But I[B] guess
That [F#m]I can live [E7/G#]without you but
[A5]Without you I'll be [B5]miserable
And [F#m]I can live [E7/G#]without you but
[A5]Without you I'll be [B5]miserable
And [F#m]I can live [E7/G#]without you but
Oh, [A5]without you I'll be [B5]miserable at [E5]best
