(very few chords for the start of this song)
F#            G#m                       C# 
So you sailed away into a grey sky morn-ing
F#               G#m                    C#      
Now I'm here to stay love can be so bor-ing
G#m                      D#m     G#m              D#m         F#
And nothing's quite the same now I just say your name now-ow

CHORUS:
F#              G#m7  B               F#     C#  D#m 
But it's not so bad  You're only the best I ever had
                  G#m     B              F#    C#      F#  G#m  B
You don't want me back  You're just the best I ever 1.)had             E 
                                                                   2.)had     

F#               G#m   B              F# C#        
So you stole my world now I'm just a phon-y
F#               G#m    B                  F# C#     
Remembering the girl   leaves me down and lone-ly
G#m                D#m   G#m                 D#m     F#
Well send it in a letter Make yourself feel better

to chorus using 2.)

E             F#                B           G#m7      
And it might take some time to patch me up inside
E            F#            D#m           E 
but I can't take it so I I run away and hide
E            F#                B               G#m  
And I might find in time that you were always right
                E    F#     
You're always right
(Just the next line we are back to just several chords)
F#             G#m                      C# 
So you sailed away into a grey sky morn-ing
F#               G#m   B             F# C#      
Now I'm here to stay love can be so bor-ing
G#m              D#m     G#m             D#m    F#
Was it what you wanted Could it be I'm haunted

to chorus to ending
ENDING:
G#m  B                    F#     C#  F#  
         You're just the best I ever had
