[Verse]
APeople get different the Emore they change
And if I C#mstay here I'll Dstay the same
F#mWhat I need is to Aget myself C#maway
AEverything leaves and comes Eback again
Well your C#mmy best friend do you Dremember when
F#mWe climbed to the top of the Ahighest rock that C#mday
AIt doesn't seem easy to Eget along
And it C#mfeels so wrong when it Dshould feel right
F#mLet's turn around and fAace the other C#mway
[Chorus]
ASo tell me if you want me to
BmI've got the knack
DTo give everyone here a heart attack Ohoh
AThis is not what I Dthought
I get C#mback from where I once belEong
So Atell me if you want me to
