[Intro]

| \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ x1
  F         C         G
| \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ x4
 
[Verse 1]
C                      Am          Em
Now that you're not my baby, I'll go do whatever I want
           F           Am                      G
No need to turn around see what's behind me I don't care
         C                           Am            Em
And it's true I've been checking out lately and I go do whatever I want
           F            Am                      G
No need to turn around, see what's behind me I don't care
                      C    Am    Em
'Cause I'm really not there
           F    Am    G
Really not there
 
[Verse 2]
C                      Am          Em
Now that you're not my baby, I'll go do whatever I want
           F                    Am                  G
No need to sit at home with the dial tone 'cause I don't care
         C                        Am           Em
And it's true I've been going out lately and I go do whatever I want
        F                    C
You can write it down with a fountain pen
F                     C
Close your eyes and count to ten
        F                          C                     G
You can tell your friends that I don't make sense and I don't care
                      F    C    G
'Cause I'm really not there
           F    C    G
Really not there
 
[Turnaround]
      C               Am        Em
Your light is like a faded radio
     F               Am          G
The lake was frozen over long ago
 
[Instrumental]
  Dm7       G         Cmaj7     F   F/E
| \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ | \ \ \ \ x4
 
[Hook]
Dm7                    G                Cmaj7     F F/E
Now that you're not my baby (Now you're not)
Dm7                    G                Cmaj7     F F/E
Now that you're not my baby (Now you're not)
 
[Bridge]
C              G           F        C
You sought an eye, so did I for an island
C              G           F        C
You sought an eye, so did I for an eye
C           G             F           C
Traded my rose-coloured shades for a wide lens
C                G           F         C
Used to make noise now I much prefer silence
 
[Hook]
F                      C                G
Now that you're not my baby (Now you're not)
F                      C                G
Now that you're not my baby (Now you're not)
F                      C                G
Now that you're not my baby (Now you're not)
F                      C                G
Now that you're not my baby (Now you're not)
 
[Outro]
        F                             C                    G
I feel alive for the first time since I don’t know how long (Now you're not)
        F                              C                    G
I see a light for the first time since I don’t know how long (Now you're not)
