(Pick yourself up, kid, ooh) 

Verse: 1 
C 
  Pick yourself up, kid 
                 Fmaj7 
I can't bare the weight 

Pick your mood up, friend 
                  C 
We don't have the time 

When you find someone 
              Fmaj7 
We don't run away 

Pick yourself up, kid 

Verse: 2 
C 
  All those books in your head 
                        Fmaj7 
Is that all this really was? 

Just a role you played 
                 C 
You could hide behind 

Is it what you want? 
                  Fmaj7 
To bury yourself away 

Before your time goes? 

Pre-Chorus: 
               Am   C    G        Fmaj7 
I don't want a love that holds us back 
               Am   C    G       Fmaj7 
I don't want a life that I can't have

       C 
'Cause people need a melody to open their eyes 
                                   Fmaj7 
Like a key to a memory frozen in time 
C 
Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past 
                                          Fmaj7 
Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast? 

Verse: 3 
C 
  So pick yourself up, kid 
                 Fmaj7 
I can't bare the weight 

Let the light back in 
                           C 
'Cause you've been walkin' blind 

Now it's all on you 
                 Fmaj7 
Don't you let it fade 

Before your time goes 

Pre-Chorus 
               Am   C    G        Fmaj7 
I don't want a love that holds us back 
               Am   C    G       Fmaj7 
I don't want a life that I can't have
