[Verse 1]
F
You say you want to talk it over,
Dm
Want to try again,
    Bb
But there's no way of workin' out,
     C
This love that we're not in.
 
 
[Verse 2]
         F
We could talk and talk and accomplish nothin',
      Dm
We've tried it all before,
     Bb
It's time somebody did some walkin',
    C

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



And I can see the door.
 
 
[Chorus]
                    F
So I'd just as soon go,
                 Dm
I'd just as soon say goodbye,
Bb
There's no reason to prolong,
     C
What we should just let die.
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
                     F
And I'd just as soon stop,
                 Dm7
I'd just as soon end the madness,
Bb             C
Knowin' what I know,
                 F
I'd just as soon go.

[Verse 3]
F
It's not an easy thing to do,
        Dm
Leavin' seldom ever is,
    Bb
But stayin' just to see us through,
     C
Just ain't no way to live.
 
 
[Verse 4]
     F
It's hard for you to understand,
          Dm
But we're better off this way,
Bb
I can't fake it one more night,
   C
Or take it one more day.
 
 
[Chorus]
                    F
So I'd just as soon go,
                 Dm
I'd just as soon say goodbye,
Bb
There's no reason to prolong,
     C
What we should just let die.
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
                     F
And I'd just as soon stop,
                 Dm7
I'd just as soon end the madness,
Bb             C
Knowin' what I know,
                 F
I'd just as soon go.
 
 
[Outro]
Bb             C
Knowin' what I know,
                 F
I'd just as soon go.
