[Verse 1]

Em D5 C5 G

And I don't mind

Em D5 C5 G

Cause I speak my mind sometimes

Em D5 C5 G

And I think it's time for me to try

Em D5 C5 G

To lay the blame where blame lies

[Chorus]

Em2

I've been searching for whoever made me feel this way

Am G2 F#

I'm not liking where it's leading or who it's leading too

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

[Verse 2]

Em D5 C5 G

And so I said I would speak the truth

Em D5 C5 G

But I didn't think it would be to you

Em D5 C5 G

I guess I'm sorry I have to lay you down

Em D5 C5 G

But no one gets to push me around.

[Chorus]

Em2

I've been searching for whoever made me feel this way

Am G2 F#

I'm not liking where it's leading or who it's leading too

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

[Bridge]

Am Bm Am G

[Outro]

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you

Em D5 C5 G

Cause it's you
