Bm
You're telling me the same old story
G
And that I need to change
Bm
If you're not leaving my life for me
A                     G
You make me feel that way

Bm
You know, you know

We're losing control
G
I gotta break away
A
Or nothing's gonna change

Bm
You got to go
         
It's the end of the road
G                        A
No matter what you do or say
G               A
Baby you're not what I need

Bm         A               G
I'm over this, I'm over you
                              D A G
I'm not gonna waste my life away
           
This is my independence day
Bm            A                 G
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
                        D A G
I can't take away the pain
                           Bm G A
This is my independence day
                           Bm G A
This is my independence day

Bm
Suddenly my picture's looking perfect
G
Since you're not in the frame
Bm
And deep down, I never meant to hurt you
A                     G
But you're the one to blame

Bm
You know, you know

We're losing control
G
Before it's too late
A
I'm making my escape

Bm
Now that I'm gone

You're own your own
G                        A
No matter what you do or say

G               A
Baby you're not what I need

Bm         A             G
I'm over this, I'm over you
                              D A G
I'm not gonna waste my life away
           
This is my independence day
Bm            A                 G
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
                        D A G
I can't take away the pain
           
This is my independence day

Bm            G
  Wouldn't it be nice
D                  A
  If it could have worked out right for us?
Bm               G                  D   A
  I know you're fighting for all we had
Bm               G
  But it didn't feel right
D                 A
  Hearts on our sleeves we lost tonight
Bm                G       A
  And there's no looking back

( Bm   G   D   A ) 3x

( Bm )

Bm         A             G
I'm over this, I'm over you
                              D A G
I'm not gonna waste my life away
           
This is my independence day
Bm            A                 G
I'm moving on, there's no excuse
                        D A G
I can't take away the pain
           
This is my independence day

Bm           G
 Wouldn't it be nice
D                A
If it would have worked out right for us?
Bm              G        A
And there's no looking back

(Bm G A)
          
This is my independence day

(Bm G A)
                           G
This is my independence day
