Gonna Get Over You

"Goodbye." Should be saying that to you by now,

shouldn't I?

Laying down a law that I live by.

Well, maybe next time.

I've got a thick tongue brimming with the words that go unsung.

I simmer then I burn for a someone,

the wrong one.

And I tell myself to let the story end,

oh, that my heart will rest in someone else's hand.

But my "why not me" philosophy began.

(G)And I said...

(C)Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?

(Am7)I'll be all (Dm7sus4)right,

just not tonight,

but someday.

Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay.

(Am7)I'll be all (Dm7sus4)right,

just not tonight,

but someday.

"Maybe." It's a vicious little word that can slay me,

keep me where I'm hurting.

You make me

(C)hang from your hands.

But no more;

I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door.

If I'm aching at the thought of you,

what for?

That's not (Bbsus2)me anymore.

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be.

But I dare you, darlin';

just you wait and see.

But this time not for you,

but just for me.

(G)I said...

but someday.

Say it's coming soon,

(C)someday without you.

(Am)All I can do

is (Ab)get me past the ghost of you.

Wave goodbye to me;
