[Verse 1]
B          E      A
  And when I walk you know
  C#m    A     E
  I'm on a mission
B       E         A    C#m   A     B
  To contradiction
B      E       A           C#m     A      E
  I wanna talk about tomorrow till the sun comes up
B           E              A    C#m   A     E
  And sleep all through it
B          E        A
  I'm just like you confused
  C#m     A        E
  But getting used to it
B          E
  I'm figuring out
  A         C#m        A     E
  That what I'd probably miss it
B          E          A    C#m   A         B
  And when I walk you know I'm on a treadmill
             G#m                B        F#   C#m A  E
  'Cause the world keeps spinning
[Chorus]
    E
Say when
         F#     G#m            B
And forget everything that you know
    E
Say when
           F# G#m    B
And you'll be good to go
            C#m
And you let it all out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
       A
Get it out of your head
E
And you'll know everything
[Verse 2]
B        E           A
  I left the teacher behind
  C#m  A      B
  So I can go and get my
B    E      A    C#m   A     E
  Education
B            E     A       C#m    A      E
  And the job only to find that I was happier when
B       E       A    C#m   A     E
  I barely made it
B          E           A         C#m    A   E
  You work so hard all your life to get noticed
B                 E       A       C#m         A  E
  And you try even harder to hide behind your sunglasses
B         E       A       C#m   A    E
  The best reason is to have no reason at all
G#           B        F#   C#m  A  E
  You should complete it
[Chorus]
    E
Say when
         F#     G#m            B
And forget everything that you know
    E
Say when
           F# G#     B
And you'll be good to go
            C#m
And you let it all out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
       A
Get it out of your head
E
And you'll know everything

C#m
   Get it out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
                C#m
All out of your head
Get it out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
E
And you'll know everything
[Verse 3]
B          E      A        C#m    A    E
  And when I walk you know I'm falling backwards
B   E          A   C#m        A   E
  Into failure    (I'm looking forward to it)
B         E          A
  'Cause everytime I screw up
C#m       A    E
I know success is just a
B        E          A   C#m    A          E
  Around the corner    (I'm walking right into it)
B          E          A
  And when you win it all
C#m      A         E
You know you're gonna lose
B           E      A
  A vicious circle now
C#m    A  E
  A catch twenty two
B            E          A       C#m   A
   Don't let your heart spin outta control
E       G#m      B       F#   C#m A  E
Into perpetual commotion
[Chorus]
    E
Say when
         F#     G#m            B
And forget everything that you know
    E
Say when
           F# G#     B
And you'll be good to go
            C#m
And you let it all out of your head
                   A
Get it out of your head
       A
Get it out of your head
                   C#m
It all out of your head
Get it out of your head
       A
Get it out of your head
       A
                  N.C.
Get it out of your head
And you'll know everything
