[Intro]
E, Bsus, A, C#m, Bsus


[Verse 1]
EIf you stepped back,

And realized

I'm sure that you'll see,
BsusThat these words

That were spoken eventually
F#Will dwell in my conscience

Til my dying day.
A             BsusOh what can i say
ETo change your perception,

Want me by your side?
BsusThe fact that youve moved on

Makes me wanna cry.
F#If you open your door

I'll be there with arms wide
AJust begging and praying
BFor one more goodbye.
         G#m       ASo i'll wait for you,
        G#m                     AEven though you don't want me to.


[Chorus]
E                       ABecause i'm not over you.

I promise.
C#mThis word they call love,

Come push or to shove,
BsusI meant it and now i'm in tears,
EMy love.
Bsus         AOh, my love.
C#m   BsusOh.


[Verse 2]
EI keep telling myself that

It's not what it seems.
BsusAnd wish that you wouldn't keep

Haunting my dreams.
F#I'll shoot out of bed

And wake up in a sweat.
A          BsusHow could i forget?
EI imagined the worst when

You were on the phone
BsusAs you sat there,

And told me, that you were alone.
F#I could see him;

I know how he makes you behave,
A                                  BsusThat this wasn't the girl that i kissed on our date.
      G#m           ABut i'll wait for you,
        G#m                    AEven though you don't want me to.


[Chorus]
       E                ABecause i'm not over you.

Come push or to shove,
BsusI meant it and now i'm in tears,
E                       ABecause i'm not over you.

I promise,

Show up at your place.
AAlthough i'm in town,

I'll stay here.

EAnd i should know better,

Give up while i can.
BsusAnd prove to the world

That i'll be my own man.
F#You broke me

And took me along for the ride
AAnd this pain that youve left me
BsusShould make me subside
