Em = Gm
A = Bb
G = C
The longer you wait to leave me
The longer I'll hurt when youre gone
And the longer it takes for you to break my heart
The longer the pain lingers on
Chorus:
How long will you prolong my misery
Wish I could leave on my own
Cause the longer you wait to leave me
The longer I'll hurt when youre gone
We both know that you never loved me
I lied to myself from the start
And we both know that some day you'll leave me
And the knowing just tears me apart
