(Verse) 



          Bm 
Mind the mice where you stand 
       A                           Bm 
Make sure you have your act all planned 
           Bm 
Think it twice and again 
                A                   Bm 
There will be hell if you can't explain 
             Bm 
You've been out, you've been cruel 
                 A            Bm 
You've been a self indulgent fool 
             Bm 
There's no doubt, you've done wrong 
              A                  Bm 
And now you just try to play along 



      D                             A  
So pick yourself up now and set things straight 
            Em 
Though I know you're full of doubt,  
           Bm          A  
you just gotta let it out 
       D                              A 
And pick yourself up now before it's too late 
         Em                  
If you wanna keep that ring,  
        Bm             A 
if she ever meant a thing 

Don't lie

(Verse) 



          Bm 
Mind the mice where you walk 
              A                       Bm 
Coz you'll regret it all around the clock 
           Bm 
It's the price that you pay 
    A                           Bm 
remorse like that will surely stay 
             Bm 
She don't know where you've been 
         A                         Bm 
But the ice you're on is getting thin 
             Bm 
She don't know what you've done 
               A                   Bm 
But she will get it in the longer run 



(Chorus) 



      D                             A  
So pick yourself up now and set things straight 
            Em 
Though I know you're full of doubt,  
           Bm          A  
you just gotta let it out 
       D                              A 
And pick yourself up now before it's too late 
         Em                  
If you wanna keep that ring,  
        Bm             A 
if she ever meant a thing 



(POST-Chorus)

(BRIDGE) 



Bm A               G     D 
 Oh you've still got it all boy 
F#                    Bm 
 In the palm of your hand 
Bm                A               G      D 
 If you get the chance you will lose it all 
         F#                  Bm 
With your head stuck in the sand 
Bm 
  Stuck in the sand 



(BUILD-UP) 




Bm A               G     D 
 Oh you've still got it all boy 
F#                     Bm 
 Don't throw it all away 
Bm            A                 G       D 
 It's about time to get your head out now 
       F#              Bm 
 If you want her to stay 



(Chorus) 



      D                             A  
So pick yourself up now and set things straight 
            Em 
Though I know you're full of doubt,  
           Bm          A  
you just gotta let it out 
       D                              A 
And pick yourself up now before it's too late 
         Em                  
If you wanna keep that ring,  
        Bm             A 
if she ever meant a thing
