Intro:    D G A Bm  
          G A Bm G A  

         D 
Is it hard to believe I'm okay 
          Em            Am 
After all it's been awhile 
       D7          G 
Since you walked away 
                  F#m 
I'm way past crying 
              Em            A7 
Over you finding someone new 
   D 
You turn my days into night 
     Bm               G 
But now I see the light 
         Em            F#m            C A7 
And this may be a big surprise to you 

                Chorus 
                                D 
But/Cause You've made me stronger 
        G          A7 
By breaking my heart 
                 D 
You ended my life 
                G         A7 
And made a better one start 
                      Bm 
You've taught me everything 
                    A7 
From falling in love 
                     Bm 
To letting go of a lie 
           Em        F#m 
Yes you've made me stronger 
    G        A7         D G A Bm G A7 
Baby by saying goodbye 

       D 
If you'd rather believe I'm not over you 
        Bm                    Am 
Go ahead there's nothing wrong 
           D7      G 
With making believe 
       F#m                   Em 
I know cause I used to pretend 
                      A7 
You'd come back to me 
       D 
But time has been such a friend 
     Bm               G 
Brought me to my senses again 
           Em        F#m 
And I have you to thank 
                   C 
For setting me free

    Bm      G 
Think again

Don't feel so sorry for me my friend 
    Bm            G 
Oh don't you know 
               Em                A7 
I'm not the one at the losing end
