C                      F 
He and i had something beautiful 
          Dm                      C 
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last 
  C                  F 
I loved him so but i let him go 
         Dm                      C 
'cause i knew he'd never love me back 

Dm 
Such pain as this 
                       C 
Shouldn't have to be experienced 
          Dm 
I'm still reeling from the loss, 
                     C            G 
Still a little bit delirious, yeah 

Am      F         C 
Near to you, i am healing 
         G 
But it's taking so long 
Am                 F 
'cause though he's gone 
            C 
And you are wonderful 
     G 
It's hard to move on 
Am       F              C 
Yet, i'm better near to you 

( F C C F ) 

C                        F 
You and i have something different 
          Dm                C 
And i'm enjoying it cautiously 
C 
I'm battle scarred, 
         F 
But i am working oh so hard 
       Dm                    C 
To get back to who i used to be 

Dm                        C 
He's disappearing, fading steadily 
             Dm 
Well, i'm so close to being yours, 
          C                   G 
Won't you stay with me, please 

Am      F         C 
Near to you, i am healing 
         G 
But it's taking so long 
Am                 F 
'cause though he's gone 
            C 
And you are wonderful 
     G 
It's hard to move on 
Am       F 
Yet, i'm better near to you. 
Am       F      G          Dm 
Yet, i'm better near to you 

Dm     Dm7M

     Dm               Dm7M 
I am better where you are 
Dm     A 
I only know that 
     Dm               A 
I am better where you are 
Dm      A            F 
I only know that i belong 
          G 
Where you are 

Am      F         C 
Near to you, i am healing 
         G 
But it's taking so long 
Am                 F 
Though he's gone 
            C 
And you are wonderful 
     G 
It's hard to move on 
Am      F         C

         G 
But it's taking so long 
Am                 F 
Though he's gone 
            C 
And you are wonderful 
     G 
It's hard to move on 
Am       F 
Yet, i'm better near to you 
Am       F      G       C 
Yet, i'm better near to you
