Verse:
Db                         Gb
he and I had something beautiful
        Ebm                        Db
but so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
Db                     Gb
I loved him so but I let him go
         Ebm                      Db
‘cause I knew he'd never love me back

Pre-Chorus:
Ebm
such pain as this
                           Db 
shouldn't have to be experienced
           Ebm
I'm still reeling from the loss, 
                     Db         Ab
still a little bit delirious

Chorus:
Bbm       Gb          Db
near to you, I am healing
             Ab             Bbm
but it's taking so long
Bbm                 Gb
'cause though he's gone
               Db 
and you are wonderful
       Ab                 Bbm
it's hard to move on
Ebm      Gb      Ab     Bbm
yet, I'm better near to you.

Verse:
Db                           Gb
you and I have something different
         Ebm                Db
and I'm enjoying it cautiously
Db                           
I'm battle scarred, 
           Gb
but I am working oh so hard
      Ebm                    Db
to get back to who I used to be

Pre-Chorus:
Ebm                          Db
he's disappearing, fading steadily
              Ebm 
well, I'm so close to being yours,
           Db                 Ab 
won’t you stay with me, please

Chorus:
Bbm       Gb          Db
near to you, I am healing
              Ab       Bbm
but it's taking so long
                    Gb
'cause though he's gone 
                 Db
and you are wonderful
        Ab          Bbm
it’s hard to move on
Ebm       Gb        Ab
yet, I'm better near to you

Interlude:

Bridge:
Ebm      Bb
I only know that 
          Ebm                   Bb
I am better where you are
Ebm     Bb
I only know that
         Ebm                    Bb 
I am better where you are
Ebm     Bb                Gb
I only know that I belong 
                   Ab
where you are

Chorus:
Bbm       Gb             Db
near to you, I am healing
             Ab             Bbm
but it's taking so long
                    Gb
'cause though he's gone
                Db
and you are wonderful
       Ab          Bbm
it’s hard to move on
 Ebm     Gb       Ab        Bbm
yet, I'm better near to you
Ebm     Gb        Ab       Db
yet, I'm better near to you
