Over you
E Now that it's all said and done, B C#m I can't believe you were the one B A To build me up and tear me down, Like an old abandoned house. E What you said when you left B Just left me cold and out of breath. C#m B I fell too far, was in way too deep. A B Guess I let you get the best of me.

F#m

(CHORUS) E Well, I never saw it coming. E I should've started running B A long, long time ago. C#m And I never thought I'd doubt you, B I'm better off without you A More than you, more than you know. E I'm slowly getting closure. E I guess it's really over. B I'm finally getting better. C#m And now I'm picking up the pieces. B I'm spending all of these years A Putting my heart back together. F#m A 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, B

I got over you.

E B You took a hammer to these walls, C#m Dragged the memories down the hall, B A Packed your bags and walked away. There was nothing I could say. E B And when you slammed the front door shut, C#m A lot of others opened up, B F#m So did my eyes so I could see A B That you never were the best for me.
