[Intro 1]
[Dm][Dm][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Friday night you and your boys
went out to [Am]eat, mm
[Dm]Then they hung out
[Am]but you came home around three
yes you did
[Dm]If six of y'all went out, [Am]uh,
Then four of you were really [Dm]cheap, yeah
'Cause only two of you had dinner
I [Am]found your credit credit card receipt

[Chorus 1]
It's not [Dm]right but it's okay
I'm gonna [Am]make it anyway
Pack your [Dm]bags up and leave
And don't you [Am]dare come running back to me
It's not [Dm]right but it's okay
I'm gonna [Am]make it anyway
Close the door be[Dm]hind you leave your key
I'd rather be a[Am]lone than unhappy, yeah

[Verse 2]
[Dm]I pack your bags
so you can leave town for a [Am]week
(yes I am)
[Dm]The phone rings
[Am]and then you look at me
(Why'd you turn and [Dm]look at me?)
You said it was one of your [Am]friends,
down on 54th Street, boy
[Dm]So why did 213
[Am]show up on your caller ID?

[Bridge 1]
I've been [Dm]through all of this befire
(I've been through all this before)
So how could you [Am]think
(Don't think about it...)
That I would stand a[Dm]round
and take some more
(Get gone, get gone)
Things are gonna [Am]change
[Gm](Things are gonna change, baby)
'Cause I won't be your [Dm]fool anymore
(You'll see I'm not, yeah, boy)
That's why you have to [Am]leave
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
So don't turn a[Dm]round to see my face
(Don't you turn around)
There's [Am]no more tears left here
for [C]you to

[Verse 3]
[Dm](see)
Was it really worth you going out like [Am]that
Tell me boy
[Dm]See I'm moving on
[Am]and I refuse to turn back, yeah
[Dm]See, all of this time
[Am]I thought I had somebody down
for Whitney
[Dm]It turns out
you [Am]were making a fool of me, oh

[Chorus 2]
It's not [Dm]right but it's okay
(Sure, I'm okay)
I'm gonna [Am]make it anyway (Make it anyway)
Pack your [Dm]bags (pack your bags)
up and leave (get up and leave)
And don't you [Am]dare come running back to me
(...mess with me, boy!)
It's not [Dm]right (It's all right)
but it's okay ('s okay)
I'm gonna [Am]make it anyway
Close the door be[Dm]hind you
leave your key (...leave your key)
I'd rather be a[Am]lone than unhappy
(...unhappy, oh)

[Chorus 3]
It's not [Dm]right (It's all right)
but it's okay ('s okay)
I'm gonna [Am]make it anyway
(I can pay my own rent now)
Pack your [Dm]bags (pay my life, livin')
up and leave (take care of my baby)
And don't you [Am]dare come
running back to me (oh, oh)
It's not [Dm]right (Oh, Lord) but it's okay (oh)
I'm gonna [Am]make it anyway (Get up and leave)

I'd rather be a[Am]lone than unhappy
(...unhappy, yeah)
