 D               Dmaj7       D6   Dmaj7
Another cause to make it go away
 D             Dmaj7           D6   Dmaj7
Another false alarm and so you say
              G    Em7 - Gmaj7  G
We walked the mile, 
                     D     Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7

D                   Dmaj7        D6   Dmaj7
Write your name and put it on my cast
     D               Dmaj7              D6   Dmaj7
Make sure the ink is permanent and will last
              G       Em7 - Gmaj7  G
If you think about it,
                D     Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
We can live without it


CHORUS:
Chords:
G      320033    D      xx0232

Em7    020030    D6     xx0202
Em6    002023

    G      
Sometimes I miss the simple lies
            Gmaj7
When you're caught up in the compromise
       Em7            Em6            D   Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
But at least we never had to say goodbye


VERSE:
Another casualty is in my head
You found another way to get it back instead
You went around it and, then you finally found it


CHORUS2:
Chords:
G      320033    D      xx0232
Gmaj7  200033    Dmaj7  xx0222
Em7    020030    D6     xx0202
Em6    002023

    G      
Sometimes I miss the simple lies
            Gmaj7
When you're caught up in the compromise
       Em7            Em6            D   Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
But at least we never had to say goodbye

   G
So go and tell my high school friends
  Gmaj7
I have no hold, no deep regrets
       Em7                     Em6          D   Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
I just never thought that we'd ever say goodbye


D                Dmaj7       D6  Dmaj7
Another cause to make it go away
D              Dmaj7           D6  Dmaj7
Another false alarm and so you say


VERSE:
Write your name and put it on my cast
Make sure the ink is permanent and will last
We walked the mile, 
And it was worth the while


[repeat CHORUS2]

    D              Dmaj7    D6     Dmaj7
So, let this be my last salutation
    D              Dmaj7      D6     Dmaj7
And let this be my first vindication
       G       Em7 - Gmaj7  G
If I believe it,
      D        Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
I can leave it
      D        Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
I can leave it
      D        Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
I can leave it
           D
And I will leave it.
