Verse 1

       E
If you stepped back,
And realized
I'm sure that you'll see,
           Bsus
That these words
That were spoken eventually
     F#m
Will dwell in my conscience
Til my dying day.
   Asus2      Bsus
Oh what can I say
   E
To change your perception,
Want me by your side?
    Bsus
The fact that youve moved on
Makes me wanna cry.
       F#m
If you open your door
I'll be there with arms wide
     Asus2
Just begging and praying
    B
For one more goodbye.
        G#m      Asus2
So I'll wait for you,
     G#m              Asus2
Even though you don't want me to.

Chorus

        E            Asus2
Because I'm not over you.
I promise.
     C#m
This word they call love,
Come push or to shove,
  Bsus
I meant it and now I'm in tears,
   E
My love.
Bsus   Asus2
Oh, my love.
C#m    Bsus
Oh.

Verse 2

       E
I keep telling myself that
It's not what it seems.
    Bsus
And wish that you wouldn't keep
Haunting my dreams.
     F#m
I'll shoot out of bed
And wake up in a sweat.
    Asus2      Bsus
How could I forget?
    E
I imagined the worst when
You were on the phone
       Bsus
As you sat there,
And told me, that you were alone.
        F#m
I could see him;
I know how he makes you behave,
          Asus2                  Bsus
That this wasn't the girl that I kissed on our date.
         G#m      Asus2
But I'll wait for you,
     G#m              Asus2
Even though you don't want me to.

Chorus

        E            Asus2
Because I'm not over you.
I promise.
     C#m
This word they call love,
Come push or to shove,
  Bsus
I meant it and now I'm in tears,
        E            Asus2
Because I'm not over you.
I promise,
    C#m
You won't see this face
Show up at your place.
  Asus2
Although I'm in town,
I'll stay here.
   E
My love.
Bsus
Oh, my love.
Asus2
My love.
C#m           Bsus
Oh, my love.

Verse 3

    E
And I should know better,
Give up while I can.
    Bsus
And prove to the world
That I'll be my own man.
    F#m
You broke me
And took me along for the ride
         Asus2
And this pain that you've left me
       Bsus
Should make me subside

Chorus

        E            Asus2
Because I'm not over you.
I promise.
     C#m
This word they call love,
Come push or to shove,
  Bsus
I meant it and now I'm in tears,
        E            Asus2
Because I'm not over you.
I promise,
    C#m
You won't see this face
Show up at your place.
  Asus2
Although I'm in town,
I'll stay here.

My love.
