[Verso 1]
 
        F 
Up and leave it on the line 
                              G 
See you cuttin' down all the things you like 
         Am              F 
Smilin' like you're not spittin' out spite 
                     G      Am 
I could hardly recognize you 

          F 
No one's makin' you stay 
                        G 
No, I hate it when you look at me that way 
      Am 
Eyes shot 
           F 
With your edges frayed 

And you're holding your breath 
 G                              Am  C 
Too scared of where it's gonna take ya 

                   F 
Feels like you're lookin' for a sign 

Like a green light, green eyes 
 G                         Am 
Everybody has what you want 
       F                                      F G  Am C 
Their body, somebody, nobody holding them back 
 


[Refrão]
 
       F 
Oh, I bite my tongue 

Can you swallow your pride? 
        G 
Do you really even want it? 
               Am      F 
Is it ruining your life? 

 F                      G        Am C 
When you gonna make up your mind? 
         F 
Oh, you lose your grip 

When you hold too tight 
         G 
See you swingin' your fists 
                   Am 
But you're losin' your fight 
F                                G 
It's not a crime to change your mind 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Am C                  F 
  Stalled out on the startin' line 
                  G 
Wonderin' at the reasons why 
   Am               F 
No one's comin' to make you try 
                       G          Am C 
Go cut your teeth and grow a spine 
 


[Verso 3]
 
          F 
Oh, it's too late 
                          G 
Can't be givin' all your life away 
    Am          F 
If time's the price you gotta pay 
                        G 
Are you gonna shell it out? 
                       Am  C 
Are you gonna shell it ou-out? 
 


[Refrão]
 
       F 
Oh, I bite my tongue 

Can you swallow your pride? 
        G 
Do you really even want it? 
               Am 
Is it ruining your life? 
 F 
Talk it up, play it down 

                             G    Am C 
When you gonna make up your mind? 
         F 
Oh, you lose your grip 

When you hold too tight 
         G 
See you swingin' your fists 
                   Am 
But you're losin' your fight 
F                                G   Am 
It's not a crime to change your mind

Would you want it? 

Don't you want it?

 If you want it

Don't you want it? 
C         F 
No one's coming (would you want it? Don't you want it?) 
                G 
To change your mind (would you want it? Don't you want it?) 
Am        F 
No one's coming (would you want it? Don't you want it?) 
               G     Am 
To change your mi-i-iiind
