   This is my first submission here. I'm not 100% sure about all the chords,
   other chord variations that would sound better.
   v1.01 - corrected chord before the chorus starts (G to Am)
I Cthink it's time, we Amgive it up
And Cfigure out what's Amstopping us
From Fbreathing Ceasy, and Ftalking Cstraight
The Cway is clear if you're Amready now
The Cvolunteer is Amslowing down
And tFaking Ctime to Fsave himCself
                 C          B   Am(or F???)
The little cracks they escalated
And Cbefore you know it Bis too Amlate
For Fmaking Ccircles and Ftelling CliesG7  Am  
You're moving Dtoo fast for me
And GI can't G7keep Cup with you
AmMaybe if you Dslowed down for me
GI could G7see you're Conly telling
AmLies, lies, Dlies
FBreaking us Cdown with your
AmLies, lies, Dlies
FWhen will you Clearn
                 C          B   Am(or F???)
The little cracks they escalated
And Cbefore you know it Bis too Amlate
For Fmaking Ccircles and Ftelling CliesG7  Am  
You're moving Dtoo fast for me
And GI can't G7keep Cup with you
AmMaybe if you Dslowed down for me
