[verse: 1]
Dmaj7
  Gettin tired of living
Cmaj7
  Living for a moment
Dmaj7		  	          Cmaj7
  Gettin tired of hanging on the line
Dmaj7
  Wake up every morning
Cmaj7
  And I pull back the curtain
Dmaj7                           Cmaj7
  Wonder if it's gonna rain or shine

G               F#m7     
Gettin tired of thinking
Em7                   F#m7
Gettin so tired of begging
G               F#m7
Gettin tired of forgetting
             Bsus    B    
That there's two of us
                Em7           
I'm getting so tired of loving a man
      A  
that just don't give a damn

[chorus:]
     F#m7 Bm7                    Em7
Just tell me, tell baby why I'm holding on

When your lovin's long gone
F#m7             Bm7                    Em7
   I got a good mind, so why don't you tell me why
        A
I can't say goodbye
     F#m7    Bm7                  Em7
Just tell me baby, why I've been holding on
 A
For so long

And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring ya back

Bring ya back to me now

  Gotta stop telling myself that I can do no better
Dmaj7		                           Cmaj7				    
  Gotta go out and maybe start meeting some new people
                                      
I gotta go out and buy myself one of those

 Little black dresses

Cause I'm so tired of this t-shirt
         F#m7
I'm so tired of crying off all my make-up
 G    	    	          F#m7
Getting just so tired of waking up
        Bsus   B
With a lonely heart
               Em7
I'm getting so tired of giving a damn
           A
About an absent hearted man
