How does it feel to be better
How does it feel to be on your own

Oh tell me why did you take the time

To tell me that you came to say goodbye

Verse 1:
 A                   E
Everybody wants to laugh
               D    E
When you feel bad
  A                  E                         D      E
Seems like the only way when the nights won't pass
                D   E
When you're so sad
                 D    E
If you can't go back
                    A
And you can't look down


CHORUS


Verse 2:
  A                  E
Everything comes to mind
             D    E
It's a breakdown
     A                   E
The way things seem to slide
              D    E
It's a free fall
                D   E
When you're so sad
                 D    E
If you can't go back
                     A
And you can't look down

Chorus:
(intro riff)
How does it feel to be better
How does it feel to be on your own
            D
Oh tell me why did you take the time
Walk away, tell those lies
Why did you waste your time
                                    A   E  D  E
To tell me that you came to say goodbye
