[Verse]

C                                           G                 Am
Katie don't cry I know you're trying your hardest
                          G                       C
And the hardest part is letting go

Of the nights we shared
G           Am                                  G
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
       F                            G
but compared to your eyes
               Am                   C
nothing shines quite as bright
                      F                   G
And when we looked to the sky
           Am             C
It’s not mine but I want it. So...

[Chorus]

C
Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight
G
(I know he's there and)
Am                                               G
You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)
F                                        G
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
Em                            Am                  G
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes
                        F                          C F C        G
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or
Em                       Am                  G
Her to second-guess but I guess)
           F                     C
That I can live without you but
F                     G                   C
(Without I'll be miserable at best)

[Verse]

C
You’re all that I hoped I'd find
                                  Am
In every single way
                                     G
And everything I would give
                                       C
Is everything you couldn't take
                                    G
Cause nothing feels like home
                                       Am
You’re a thousand miles away
                                     G
And the hardest part of living
                                      F
Is just taking breaths to stay
                                        G
Cause I know I'm good for something
               Em                     Am
I just haven't found it yet
         G
And I need it so...

[Chorus]

C
Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight
G
(I know he's there and)
Am                                               G
You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)
F                                         G
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
  Em                           Am                G
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes
                        F                          C F C        G
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or
Em                       Am                   G
Her to second-guess but I guess)
           F                      C
That I can live without you but
F                      G                 C
(Without I'll be miserable at best)

[Interlude]
C F G Em Am Am G

[Verse]

C                             F                G
And this will be the first time in a week
                        Em                      Am
That I'll talk to you and I can't speak
                                                           G
It’s been 3 whole days since I've had sleep
                                                           C
Cause I dream of his lips on your cheek
                                                F
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
       G                               Em
But we both know that I'm not that strong

       Am                                          G
And I miss the lips that made me fly so...

[Chorus]

C
Let’s not pretend like you're alone tonight
G
(I know he's there and)
Am                                               G
You’re probably hanging out and making eyes

(While across the room he stares)
F                                         G
I'll bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
  Em                          Am                  G
And ask my girl to dance she'll say yes
                        F                          C F C        G
(Because these words were never easier for me to say or
Em                       Am                   G
Her to second-guess but I guess)
           F                     C
That I can live without you but
F                     G
(Without I'll be miserable)
F                   C
That I can live without you but
F                  G
(Without I'll be miserable)
F                   C
That I can live without you but
             F                   G                  C
(Oh without I'll be miserable at best)
