  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



E             C     G                       D

God knows we tried everything that we could do

E                   C                    G

You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to

       Am                 Em                C        

Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason,

       Am-C                    G

I know staying's worse than leaving



                 C

It's gotta get better, it can't get worse

              Em

Hope it's a blessing not a curse

         C                 G               D

I don't care who passes judgement on my reasons

       Am-C                   G

I know staying's worse than leaving



                 C       

It's gotta get better, it can't get worse

              Em

Hope it's a blessing not a curse

          C                G              D

I don't care who passes judgement on my reasons

Em         C        G               D

Both our hearts let go a long time ago

Em            C                    G

Words leave scars and Lord knows they heal slow

          Am              Em                   C

Our love died but somehow we are both still breathin'

       Am                  Em                  C

I just hope someday we'll look back on this grievin'

          Am-C                   G

and say, staying's worse than leaving

           Am-C                    G

Yeah, that staying's worse than leaving

          

(slow)

Yeah, that staying's...

                G

...worse than leaving
