[Verse]
     C                      G
I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over
       Em                      F
If I'm wrong I am right, don't need to look no further
           Am      Em           C       Em
This ain't lust, I know this is love... But
   C                      G
If I tell the world, I'll never say enough
              Em
'Cause it was not said to you
           F                            Am      Em
And that's exactly what I need to do if I'd end up with you
[Chorus]
C             Em             Am
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Em         F       G
Even if it leads nowhere?
C                Em         Am           Em
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
         F        G
Should I leave it there?
C             Em             Am
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Em         F       G     C
Even if it leads nowhere?
[Verse]
C                     G
I build myself up and fly around in circles
        Em                       F
Waiting as my heart drops and my back begins to tingle
    Am             Em
Finally could this be it? Or..
[Chorus]
C             Em             Am
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Em         F       G
Even if it leads nowhere?
C                Em         Am           Em
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
         F        G
Should I leave it there?
C             Em             Am
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Em         F       G     C
Even if it leads nowhere?
[Bridge]
F                            Em
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
     Am            Em
Even if it leads nowhere?
            F                    Em
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
           Am                    G
Should I leave it there? Should I give up? 
            C         Em    Am   Em
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements
         C         Em    Am   Em
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?

Or..
[Chorus]
C             Em             Am
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Em         F       G
Even if it leads nowhere?
C                Em         Am           Em
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
         F        G
Should I leave it there?
C             Em             Am
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Em         F       G     C
