EmReady Set Go
This is take D37, let it roll
I'm gonna get it Gright this time
Gonna fight this time
CThis time I'm for Real
EmLook at me go I'm off flying DStraight as an arrow
Then I feel the Gwind blow in Gravity sets in
and CI don't know how to deal
EmI always start so stGrong
[Chorus]
BeGfore you even know it
I'm right back at the start
I'm Emdoing what I hate
and breaking my own heart
I'm going Bmback and forth
and then forth and then back
and then Ground in circles
I was never meant to travel on my own
so no Emmatter what I try If I'm trying alone
I'm going Bmback and forth
and then forth and then back
and then Cround in circles
[Verse 2]
EmHere's what I know
Direction goes Dout the window

I forget what I heard and Cgo on just the same
the Embeautiful part it doesn't have to Dbe this hard
I'm just Gdeceiving myself
I don't want your help
Csomething's got to change
I Emknow I need to Dchange, because

BeGfore you even know it
I'm right back at the start
I'm Emdoing what I hate

and then Ground in circles
I was never meant to travel on my own

[Verse 1]

Ready Set Go

This is take 37, let it roll

I'm gonna get it right this time

Gonna fight this time

This time I'm for Real

Em D

Look at me go I'm off flying Straight as an arrow

Then I feel the wind blow in Gravity sets in

and I don't know how to deal

Em G

I always start so strong

[Chorus]

Before you even know it

I'm right back at the start

I'm doing what I hate

and breaking my own heart

I'm going back and forth

and then forth and then back

and then round in circles

I was never meant to travel on my own

so no matter what I try If I'm trying alone

I'm going back and forth

and then forth and then back

and then round in circles

[Verse 2]

Here's what I know

Direction goes out the window

the second that I hear your word

I forget what I heard and go on just the same

Em D

the beautiful part it doesn't have to be this hard

I'm just deceiving myself

I don't want your help

something's got to change

Em D

I know I need to change, because

[Chorus]

Before you even know it

I'm right back at the start

I'm doing what I hate

and breaking my own heart

I'm going back and forth

and then forth and then back

and then round in circles

I was never meant to travel on my own

so no matter what I try If I'm trying alone

I'm going back and forth

and then forth and then back

and then round in circles

[Bridge]

Am C

No more insanity I'm letting go of me

all this independence has made me dizzy

D Am

and now I can't see (yeah) where I'm supposed to be

I had my turn and now my lesson's learned

I touched the fire and I got burned

I need your healing touch

I've had enough

I'm tired of saying

[Chorus]

Before you even know it

I'm right back at the start

I'm doing what I hate

and breaking my own heart

I'm going back and forth

and then forth and then back

and then round in circles

I was never meant to travel on my own

so no matter what I try If I'm trying alone

I'm going back and forth

and then forth and then back

and then round in circles

Ending

Back and Forth and Forth and Back and

Round in Circles

Back and Forth and Forth and Back and

Round in Circles
