[Chorus 1]
Why Ado you act so Ddown?
I said I Bmdo not have a Eclue.
But it's Abound to wear me Dout
And it's Bmgot to weigh on Eyou...
[Verse 1]
I said there's a Awhole lot of ways for us to weather the storm.
And if I Dhad to choose babe I guess I'd rather be bored
but there's    Bmno reason to drag it through the dust.
Don't Elet it get between the two of us.
[Chorus 2]
But I'd Alove to help you Dout.
I wanna Bmbe right there for Eyou.
But in a Amind so full of Ddoubt.
It makes supBmporting you so hard to Ddo.
[Verse 2]
Alright, I said it's Atime to take a minute just to think of yourself.
It's gonna Dbe a long road, instead of making it hell,
You might as Bmwell take a step to get you out of this rut.
And I will Ebe right here, I wanna pick you up.
But I Ado think it's true, deep in the sadness of you,
That we can Dfind a new directions that'll pull ya right through
But it's    Bmgonna take a little bit of work on your side.
So Ekeep on running 'cause I'm right beside you.
[Chorus 3]
Why Ado you block me Dout?
When I Bmmean the best for Eyou.
But if you Acherish these break Ddowns,
I guess there's Bmnothing left me to Edo.
[Verse 3]
And I know that I'm a Ahypocrite because I do it too.
But only Dfor a little minute then I'm back in the room.
Making Bmjokes about the stupid little fit that I had.
Sayin' Esorry baby don't let me be sad.
But I'm Agonna intervene, I'm gonna say what I mean,
I'm gonna Dtake a little off you back and play as a team.
I'm gonna Bmuse the situation for a song I could write,
But the Ewords are coming faster than my fingers can type.
[Chorus 4]
But I Ado my best to Dsay,
All the Bmperfect words to Eyou.
So we can Ajust enjoy todDay!
And let the Bmpast be on yesterday's Enews.
[Outro]
Oh baby I Bmjust wanna Epick you up 'cause I Acan't stand to A/G#see you Bmcry

[Intro]

[Chorus 1]

A D

Why do you act so down?

Bm E

I said I do not have a clue.

A D

But it's bound to wear me out

Bm E

And it's got to weigh on you...

[Verse 1]

I said there's a whole lot of ways for us to weather the storm.

And if I had to choose babe I guess I'd rather be bored

but there's no reason to drag it through the dust.

Don't let it get between the two of us.

[Chorus 2]

A D

But I'd love to help you out.

Bm E

I wanna be right there for you.

A D

But in a mind so full of doubt.

Bm D

It makes supporting you so hard to do.

[Verse 2]

Alright, I said it's time to take a minute just to think of yourself.

It's gonna be a long road, instead of making it hell,

You might as well take a step to get you out of this rut.

And I will be right here, I wanna pick you up.

But I do think it's true, deep in the sadness of you,

That we can find a new directions that'll pull ya right through

But it's gonna take a little bit of work on your side.

So keep on running 'cause I'm right beside you.

[Chorus 3]

A D

Why do you block me out?

Bm E

When I mean the best for you.

A D

But if you cherish these break downs,

Bm E

I guess there's nothing left me to do.

[Verse 3]

And I know that I'm a hypocrite because I do it too.

But only for a little minute then I'm back in the room.

Making jokes about the stupid little fit that I had.

Sayin' sorry baby don't let me be sad.

But I'm gonna intervene, I'm gonna say what I mean,

I'm gonna take a little off you back and play as a team.

I'm gonna use the situation for a song I could write,

But the words are coming faster than my fingers can type.

[Chorus 4]

A D

But I do my best to say,

Bm E

All the perfect words to you.

A D

So we can just enjoy today!

Bm E

And let the past be on yesterday's news.

[Outro]

Bm E A A/G# Bm

Oh baby I just wanna pick you up 'cause I can't stand to see you cry
