Capo 3rd fret
[Intro]
C  Am  Em  F
C  Am  Em  G
[Verse 1]
  C                           Am
I think it's safe to say that you will always change
    Em                                 G
New colours day-to-day, my friend, you are a hurricane
C                      Am
The look on your face, all the things you say
     Em                                G
Send me to outer space, my friend, you test my patience
[Pre-Chorus 1]
      C                    Am
Don't you just push me out now
    Em                           G
You got me into this mess, who's gonna get me out?
    C                    Am
Why are you pulling me down
       Em
                          N.C.
If you got things to figure out?
[Chorus 1]
               C                     Am                   Em  F
Oh, you're not ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me
               C                     Am                   Em  G
Oh, you're not ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me,   yeah
C               Am                Em            F
  Go steady your, your heavy heart until you're free
             C                     Am                   Em
Until you're ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me
             G
Until you're ready, you're ready for me
[Verse 2]
    C                            Am
Why do I care so much about you, boy, you know I do
  Em                                 G
I think a million thoughts, but only half get through to you
    C                             Am
You start a million fires just to see what they can do
        Em
                          N.C.
But then you freeze up like winter season in June
  C                     Am
I wanna climb into your mind and turn on all the lights
     Em                           G
Read all your secrets, see if you wonder about mine
     C                         Am
We're just kids tryin' to understand the world
       Em                     G
You're still only a boy who's scared of a good girl
[Chorus 2]
               C                     Am                   Em  F
Oh, you're not ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me
               C                     Am                   Em  G
Oh, you're not ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me (oh, no)
C               Am                Em            F
  Go steady your, your heavy heart until you're free
             C                     Am                   Em
Until you're ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me
             G
Until you're ready, you're ready for me
[Bridge]
Am            Dm             G              Em
   I won't be waiting for you to come around, to come around
Am            Dm             G                   Em
   I won't be waiting for you, but I'll be around, I'll be around
[Pre-Chorus 2]
      C                    Am
Don't you just push me out now
    Em                           G
You got me into this mess, who's gonna get me out?
    C                    Am
Why are you pulling me down
       Em
                          N.C.
If you got things to figure out?
[Chorus 3]
               C                     Am                   Em            F
Oh, you're not ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me (ready for me, no, no, no)
               C                     Am                   Em            G
Oh, you're not ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me (ready for me, no, no, no)
C                 Am                              Em                        F
  Go steady your (steady your), your heavy heart (heavy heart) until you're free
             C                     Am                   Em
Until you're ready for, ready for, ready for, ready for me
             G                        C  Am  Em  F
Until you're ready, you're ready for me
