Intro:

C                                 Am
This may be the last thing that I write for long
C                              Am
Can you hear me smiling when I sing this song?
    G            C~
For you and only you

Verse 1:
    C                             Am
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye?
    C                             Am
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye?
   G                                          F
My foot is out the door and you can't stop me now


Pre-chorus:

Am
You wanted the best
          F
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
                  C
Now I'll take the lead
                             G
When there's no more room to make it grow

Am
I'll see you again
                        F
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
                  C
Is this what you need?
                G
How you end up? Let me know


Chorus:

C                                             Am
As I go remember all the simple things you know
                                         F
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G
That you will miss me when I'm gone
                          C
This is the last song


Verse 2:

C                                                Am
   The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
C                                              Am
   The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
       G                                            
It seems so surreal, And now I sing it

C                                                Am
  Somehow I knew that it would be this way
C                                                Am
  Somehow I knew that it would slowly fade
     G                                              F
Now I am gone, Just try and stop me now


Pre-chorus:

Am
You wanted the best
          F
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
                  C
Now I'll take the lead
                             G
When there's no more room to make it grow

Am
I'll see you again
                        F
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
                  C
Is this what you need?
                G
How you end up? Let me know


Chorus:

C                                             Am
As I go remember all the simple things you know

My mind is just a crutch and I still hope
                                             G
That you will miss me when I'm gone

My mind is just a crutch and I still hope

"Happy Ending" Lyrics

From: The All American Rejects Album

Chords Used:
G,          C,         Em,          D

Intro:

G
Time does tell
                   C
That even if they say so
                         Em
She'd be the one that would know
        D                    G
That I did do what I've done
                               C
And I, I wouldn't call it cheating
                        Em
I'd just say I was leading her on
           D           G
Why walk while I run a-way

Em
You- you ask me what went wrong
G
Me- i'll write you this last song
C             D                        G
Please- just tell me one way we can win
Em
One- more thing before I go
G
Two- the one who loves me so
C              D              G
Three- don't make me count to three again

G       C
Happy endings
Em                     D         
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
G       C
Stop pretending
Em                        D
That what you mean isn't what you say
G       C
Hopeful dreaming,
Em                                  D
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
G       C
Loving, leaving
Em                    D
Round and round and round we go again

G                                               C
Walks a-lone, have often lead to thinking
              Em                     D                      G
My love for you is sinking to what seems an all time low
                             C
or high, the limits' never ending,
                            Em
And don't you know I'm sending
            D                      G
There's no venture I won't go
For you

Em
You- you ask me what went wrong
G
Me- i'll write you this last song
C             D                        G
Please- just tell me one way we can win
Em
One- more thing before I go
G
Two- the one who loves me so
C              D              G
Three- don't make me count to three again

G       C
Happy endings
Em                     D         
Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
G       C
Stop pretending
Em                        D
That what you mean isn't what you say
G       C
Hopeful dreaming,
Em                                  D
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
G       C
Loving, leaving
Em                    D
Round and round and round we go again

G    C    Em    D
Solo

Em        D    C          D    Em
    She walks away, she talks away
        D    C      
 She walks away
Em       D     C        D      Em
   She walks away, she talks away
  D      C
Away, away...

G       C
Happy endings

Just what did you do, If you're a dream then come true
G       C
Stop pretending
Em                        D
That what you mean isn't what you say
G       C
Hopeful dreaming,
Em                                  D
Of times before the pain, wishing it was still the same
G       C
Loving, leaving

"Don't Leave Me" Lyrics

From: The All American Rejects Album

Intro:
You're sweet just like the sun
But what happens when the sun doesn't stay?
The night reminds me when you went away ( I don't Care, I don't Care )
Now my mind was pacing, heart is racing contemplating things that I lack
Even though you left me by myself, do I want you back?

Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
I'm giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then she'll stay

Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Don't look back
Leave me once and I'll be fine
Leave me twice I'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again

As the days go by, I am asking why did you leave
You left me alone and then you walked out on me ( I don't Care, I don't Care )
Thinking of days, thinking of ways, thinking of things, to you, 
That I should say
I wanna be with you and that's the only way

Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
I'm giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then she'll stay

Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Don't look back
Leave me once and I'll be fine
Leave me twice I'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again

Don't say good-bye, just dry your eyes
A tear for everything that I did wrong
Don't say goodbye, just dry your eyes
Listen now just try and see me please don't leave me now.

Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Don't look back
Leave me once and I'll be fine
Leave me twice I'll make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again 

Note: I can't figure out simple chords for this (TT ^ TT). So I'll just update if I have already found one. ;)

Em       D           G
Friend deceives, she leaves
G                     D        
Last date. She cries, whispers, goodbye
Em                   D        G
She walks once more, out that door

Em              C                  G
All the perfect words they seem so wrong,
D
she's gone.
Em                      C
You wish that you could learn to see,
    D                                     G
The door is closed and you wish you could be:

G                          Em
Alone with you, alone with me.
           C             G

Please stay, don't go away.
Em                   D             G
The hardest thing is letting go of you.
G              D
Stay, don't go away.
Em                   D             G
The hardest thing is letting go of you.
G
what can I do?

G               Em         C   G
Alone with you, alone with me, what can I do
          Em            C
I can not see, alone with, alone with...
G                          Em
Alone with you, alone with me.
           C             G
