Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Is it hard to believe I'm okay?

After all, it's been awhile

Since you walked away

I'm way past crying

Over you finding someone new

You turn my days into night

But now I see the light

And this may be a big surprise to you

Chorus

(But/Cause) You've made me stronger

By breaking my heart

You ended my life

And made a better one start

You've taught me everything

From falling in love

To letting go of a lie

Yes, you've made me stronger

Baby, by saying goodbye

If you'd rather believe I'm not over you

Go ahead, there's nothing wrong

With making believe

I know, cause I used to pretend

You'd come back to me

But time has been such a friend

Brought me to my senses again

And I have you to thank

For setting me free

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

Baby, by saying goodbye

Bridge

Think again

Don't feel so sorry for me, my friend

Oh, don't you know

I'm not the one at the losing end

(Repeat Chorus moving chords 1/2 step

higher)

except last line)

Baby, by saying

You made me stronger by saying goodbye

You ended my life

And made a better one start

You've taught me everything

From falling in love

To letting go of a lie

Yes, you've made me stronger

Baby, by saying goodbye, goodbye

Yes, you've made me stronger

Baby, by saying goodbye
