[Verse 1]
G
I don't wanna go
C
Where everybody knows your name
G
So I just stay at home
C
Mm, anymore these days
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause every time I leave the house
I hear somebody ask about you
And I just can't bring myself to tell the truth about it
C
So I tell a lie, mm
G
Say you're doin' pretty good
And things are goin' like they should
And when I get back home tonight
C
I'm gonna tell ya that they said to tell ya hi, mm-mm
[Chorus]
D
'Cause the truth is, the truth is

G
It's so much easier
C
They don't know that we're just friends
G
Than goin' down that road
C
And losin' you all o - ver again
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause it's hard to live with knowin'
All the things I did and didn't do to keep you by my side
And I'm the reason for goodbye
C
And why you're gone
G
I just talk about the weather or whatever
Yeah, 'cause anything is better than discussin'
C
All the nothin' that we got goin' on
And that I'm barely hangin' on
[Chorus]
