Verse:

F#m      A               E  
Back me down from backing up
           B
Hold your breath now it's stacking up
F#m         A                 E
Etched with marks, but I can deal
                 B
And you're the problem and you can't feel
C#m       A                  B
Try this on, straitjacket feeling

so maybe I won't be alone
C#m         A                    B
Take back now, my life you're stealing

Yesterday was hell 



Chorus:

  E               
But today I'm fine without you
 C#m
Run away this time without you
  A
And all I ever thought you'd be
  B                                A
That face is tearing holes in me again



Verse:

F#m        A               E
Trust you is just one defense
                  B
off a list of others, you don't make sense
F#m     A              E
Beg me time and time again
                   B
to take you back now, but you can't win
C#m        A                     B
Take back now, my life you're stealing

Yesterday was hell



Chorus:

 E               
But today I'm fine without you
 C#m
Run away this time without you
 A
And all I ever thought you'd be
 B                                         
That face is tearing holes in me
 E
but today I'm fine without you
 C#m
Run away this time without you
 A     
And all the things you put me through
 B                              A 
I'm holding on by letting go of you



A            F#m           C#m
And when that memory slips away

There'll be a better view from here
A          F#m            C#m
And only lonesome you remains

and just the thought of you I fear
A         G#m
it falls away

Yesterday was hell 




Chorus:
 E               
But today I'm fine without you
 C#m
Run away this time without you
 A
And all I ever thought you'd be
 B                                         
That face is tearing holes in me
 E
but today I'm fine without you
 C#m
Run away this time without you
 A     
And all the things you put me through
 B                               A 
I'm holding on by letting go of you…
