| But | now's not a | good time to | go |
| | A6 | A | D |
| And it | isn't my | place to say | leave him and run |
| | A6 | A | D | E |
| That | no love is | worth all the | damage he's | done |

| Then one day it's taken for granted |
| Til words become weapons and love turns to pain |
| Oh why is she still holdin on? |
