Intro: --F#/Bb- x2


Verse 1:
                      
  The little things, you do to me are
/           
  taking me over, i wanna show you
            
  everything inside of me oh
/                      
  like a nervous heart that, is crazy beating
                     
  my feet are stuck here, against the pavement
/               
  i wanna break free, i wanna make it
                  
  closer to your eyes, get your attention
/                
  before you pass me by


Chorus:
     
So back up back up

take another chance
          
Don’t you mess up mess up

I don’t wanna lose you

Wake up wake up 

this aint just a thing that you

Give up give up 

don’t you say that I’d be
         
Better off better off
                   
sleepin by myself and wonderin
               
If im better off better off
         
without you boy


(Repeat Intro)


Verse 2:
                   
  And every time, you notice me by
/               
  holdin me closely, and sayin sweet things
                     
  i don't believe, that it could be
   /                 
you speakin your mind and, sayin the real thing
                 
  my feel broke free, and i am leavin
/                     
i'm not gonna stand here, feelin lonely but
                
  i don't regret it, and i don't think this
/                 
  was just a waste of time


(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
               /   
don't just leave me hanging on
(Repeat)
