D D A A           Bm Bm
Katie don't cry I know you're trying your hardest
A A D D
And the hardest part is letting go

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

[Chorus]
D D
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
A A
(I know he's there and)
Bm Bm A A
You're probably hanging out and making eyes

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

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


[Chorus]
D D
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
A A
(I know he's there and)
Bm Bm A A
You're probably hanging out and making eyes

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


D D G G A A F#m F#m Bm Bm Bm Bm A A
x2 (2nd time with ah dah dahs)

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

Bm Bm A A
And I miss the lips that made me fly so...


[Chorus]
D D
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
A A
(I know he's there and)
Bm Bm A A
You're probably hanging out and making eyes

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


* A/A# A/A# - this chord is basically an A A major chord (which you are already playing
before hand) but sliding the A A note up to A# A# so you are playing the three notes of the triad of A# A# C# C# E E
