 F#                       D#m 
Cut my hair the way you want it.
                      B 
Watched you become important,
                        C#sus4         C# 
Quit my job to make our new home far away,
 
[Verse 2]
 F#                     D#m 
Now you're Mister Successful
                          B 
And I'm queen of the treadmill tryin to stay the size 
 C#sus4                    C#      F#  -  B 
You think that I should stay,
                      C#

I keep right on pretending, but I can't do that anymore
 
[Verse 3]
        F#             D#m 
Now you say I'm being silly,
                      B 
But you don't know me,really,

You never take the time to ask me how I feel,

I keep the checkbook balanced
                   B 
I decorate your palace,
                              C#sus4     C#     Bb  -  B 
You know I used to think that you were king,
 
                           C# 
Somewhere deep down I know you really love me,
 B                              C# 
But you can't see that what we have was not all I needed,
 
[Chorus]

I keep on givin, but I can't stop livin'

I like happy endings, I don't like depending,
                         C#                         F#    D#m  B  C#sus4  C# 
I keep right on pretending, but I can't do that anymore
 
[Bridge]
 D#m                        B               C# 
You try to tell me I'm not being fair to you,

But life's too short for a selfish attitude.
