Capo 4
(Or Capo 1 and play
D F
Em Gm
A Bb
G C
The [D]longer you wait to [Em]leave me
The [A]longer I'll hurt when youre [D]gone
And the [D]longer it takes for you to [Em]break my heart
The [A]longer the pain lingers [D]on
Chorus:
How [G]long will you [A]prolong my [D]misery
[A]Wish I could leave on my [D]own
Cause the [D]longer you wait to [Em]leave me
The [A]longer I'll hurt when youre [D]gone
Solo
We both know that you never loved me
I lied to myself from the start
And we both know that some day you'll leave me
And the knowing just tears me apart
Chorus
