[Verse 1]
Am Em
Trying to change your mind is like the weather
Am Em
And you don't make my heart beat like you used to
F
I've been waiting for a sign
Dm Em
You've been saving all your lines
Am Em
We could save each other for the better
Am Em
And when you say my name, I'll be a memory
F
This is more than we had planned
Dm Em
Choices taken from our hands
Dm Em F
Finally, there's space to stand alone
[Chorus]
F G
My mind is a runaway
Em Am
And I find it's too hard to breathe
Am/G F G
Just say what you want to say
Em Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
Am/G F G
I feel these growing pains
Em Am
Have made us far too strong
Am/G F G
We'll change if you want to change
Em Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
[Verse 2]
Am Em
You could lose yourself and search forever
Am Em
Looking for the person that you'll never be
F
We've been trying to compensate
Dm Em
Time to learn from our mistakes
Am Em
Maybe one day we'll fit back together
Am Em
I'll pick up the pieces and we'll rearrange
F
Now we need to follow fate
Dm Em
Now we look the other way
Dm Em F
Now we find the strength to stand alone
[Chorus]

My mind is a runaway
Em Am
And I find it's too hard to breathe

Just say what you want to say
Em Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?

I feel these growing pains
