Lyrics

Try’n’ to pick up the pace; try’n’ to make it so I (F5)nev er see your you’re face a gain.

Time to throw this a way; wan na make sure that you (F5)nev er waste my time a gain.

How does it feel,

oh, how does it feel to be you right now, dear?

You broke this a part,

so pick up your piece and go a way from here.

Please just let me (C)go, now.

Please just let me go.

Would you please just let me (C)go, now?

Please just let me go.

(C)I’m gon na get you out, I’m gon na get you (C)out, I’m gon na get you out of my head.

Get out.

Gon na get you out, I’m gon na get you (C)out, I’ve got ta get you out of my head.

Get out.

Nev er said we’d be friends; try’n’ to keep my self a (F5)way from you, your you’re bad, bad news.

With you gone, I’m a live; makes me feel like I took (F5)hap py pills, and time stands still.

How does it feel,

oh, how does it feel to be the one shut out?

You broke all the rules;

I won’t be a fool for you no more, my dear.

Please just let me (C)go, now.

Please just let me go.

Would you please just let me (C)go, now?

Please just let me go.

(C)I’m gon na get you out, I’m gon na get you (C)out, I’m gon na get you out of my head.

Get out.

Gon na get you out, I’m gon na get you (C)out, I’ve got ta get you out of my head.

Get out.

of my head.

Get out.
