G
Is this how it ends?

G                          Am
Lying in bed, talking to a cheap tape recorder 

              
instead of my friends.

G
In bed with a low grade fever.

                                 Am
They wanted to know, how could I leave you?


I can’t tell them that,

  Em (022000)           E(022100)
It might sound like revenge.


    C           C7M9               Am     Em
But some things don’t need a payback.



C                           C7M9                          Am     Em
Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about.

G
Where do I start?

I was waiting for my head to clear up-
 
  Am   
I thought I was smart, I’d find the answers in time.

G                                                  Gadd11 (320013) G
But the answers I find aren’t what you want to hear.

                      Am     Em        E
They’re not even close.


    C           C7M9                 Am     Em
But some things don’t need a payback.

C                          C7M9                          Am     Em
Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about.


C           C7M9                 Am     Em
Some things don’t need a clear up.

E                                Am
I remember good things, like the van breaking down.

E                                    
I sat on your lap in the auto repair, 

    Am
and you touched my hair 

E
while the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside.


Don’t take revenge,
just let it lie.
The easiest thing is if you just let it die.
Don’t give me a chance,
you don’t owe me that.
Don’t follow me out,
unless you’re coming for some payback.
But some things don’t need a payback.
Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about.
Some things don’t need a clear up.
Why did I leave?
How long did it take?
It could take forever.
But some things don’t need a payback.
You got that?
