[Verse]
Am              E
I read cover to cover
Am            E
Romance and adventure
       F              C
It was all a waste of time
F                    C
Can't get you out of my mind

Am                    E
And I just couldn't believe
Am                   E
You're now someone else's baby
F             C
Put it on the shelf
F                C
Replace with someone else

[Chorus]
G                      C
And when you say these things to me
G                     C
And you open up your arms
G              C
I don't only think of me
          Em              G
I'm just tired of being strong
          Em              G
I'm just tired of being strong

[Verse]
Am            E
Early in the morning
Am             E
I received the warning
F                          C
Sure as night becomes the day
F                C
Romantics end up the same way

Am                E
I saw you in the prism
Am                E
Reeling against realism
F       C
Hide in fantasy
F        C
You wave back at me

[Chorus]
    G                  C
And when you say these things to me
        G             C
And you open up your arms
G              C
I don't only think of me
         Em               G
I'm just tired of being strong
         Em               G
I'm just tired of being strong
