[Verse 1]
G#                              Cm
I used to wait for you to come around
                    Fm
You know I was born lonely
G#                              Cm
You took the only love I'd ever found
                Fm
And gave it to another
C#                      Cm   Fm
I don't want to let you go
Bbm    Cm     Bbm      Eb
But by now, I ought'a know

[Chorus]
G#                  Cm         Fm
I can't afford that feeling anymore
  C#              Cm
To lie and wonder what you do
Bbm         D#
And who you do it for
G#                  Cm         Fm
I can't afford that feeling anymore
C#                   Cm
To know that someone holds the one
Bbm                  G#
That all my love was for, you know
Bbm       Fm        C#         G#
I can't afford that feeling anymore

[Verse 2]
G#                                Cm
It's funny that you chose to call today
                     Fm
And tell me that you love me
G#                                       Cm
I thought I'd finally put those thoughts away
                    Fm
And left the past behind me
C#                     Cm  Fm
While in my mind I can see
Bbm      Cm      Bbm     Eb
Just how good it used to be

[Chorus]
G#                  Cm         Fm
I can't afford that feeling anymore
  C#              Cm
To lie and wonder what you do
Bbm         D#
And who you do it for
G#                  Cm         Fm
I can't afford that feeling anymore
C#                   Cm
To know that someone holds the one
Bbm                  G#
That all my love was for, you know
Bbm       Fm        C#         G#
I can't afford that feeling anymor

     Now I know why lonely people do
C#                 G#
Anything the night has asked them to
       Fm        Cm           Fm
Making love to strangers in regret
Bbm         Cm       Bbm      D#
Because it helps them   to forget

[Chorus]
G#                  Cm         Fm
I can't afford that feeling anymore
  C#              Cm
To lie and wonder what you do

And who you do it for
G#                  Cm         Fm
I can't afford that feeling anymore
