Standard (EADGBE)

x 4

Chorus x2

I'm gonna suffer for you no longer

I'm gonna suffer for you no more

I'm gonna write you out of my life

and shut the door

You tried to drive a wedge between me and my friends

You pushed me to the edge time and again

I've been living in your shade since I can't remember when

Now I'm bringing this charade to an end

Chorus

There was subtlety and skill in your manipulative ways

You chipped away my will so you could make me stay

You soothed me with your voice until I obeyed

but I'm making my own choice from today

Solo

x8

You used the tongue of love like a boxer uses fists

You contained me like a glove or a creeping cloak of mist

You guaranteed the stars but there always was a twist

Now I see you as you are - Egotist !

Chorus x2

I've got a ticket in my hand and I must be moving on

but I want you to understand that from the moment I am gone

I release and let you go - you owe nothing now to me

I'm not angry anymore - I'm free !

[Chorus to finish]
