Dont Be Afraid

A                             C#
I took your pictures down and off 
the wall today
A                           C#
Every time I look at them I think of
 yesterday
        D    Dm                   
And I'm sorry but it's time I pack
          A
 our life away


[VERSE 2]
A                          C#
I thought about you when I made the 
bed today
A                               
The left pillow untouched where your
C#
 head used to lay
         D     Dm            
Don't be sorry, things will be 
                  A
better off this way


[CHORUS]
A     C#  D        Dm
Don't be afraid to say how it is
A     C#  D         Dm
Don't be ashamed of crushing my 
dreams
A        C#   D                
Though I feel betrayed, I'm so 
Dm         A
glad I met you
C#      D     Dm
Oh, oh, oh... (etc.)

A                              C#
This is the hardest thing I've had 
to just accept
A                           C#
Alcohol and cigarettes have filled 
the void you've left
        D     Dm                  
And I'm hungry but I think I'll 
          A
stay in bed today

D                    Dm
I still remember the first time I 
saw you
   A               C#            
We met because the Cake show was 
D   Dm
late
D                 Dm
And you looked so beautiful
A                          E
I had to come and ask your name
                           A
I had to come and ask your name

Hope life gets better... I will be
                A
 rid of you someday
