Lyrics

I’ve (Cm7)made up my mind,

don’t (Bb6)need to think it o ver.

If I’m (Abmaj7)wrong I am right,

don’t (G7)need to look no fur ther.

This ain’t (Abmaj7)lust,

I

(Bb6)know

(Bb7)this is (Cm7)love.

(Gm7)But if (Eb)I tell the world,

I’ll (Bb6)nev er say e nough, ’cause it was (Cm7)not said to you, and that’s ex (G7)act ly what I need to do if (Abmaj7)I

end this (Bb6)up

with you.

(Abmaj9)Should I give up?

Or (Cm7)should I (Fm11)just keep chas ing (Abmaj7)pave ments (Abmaj13)e ven if it (Gm7)leads no where?

Or (Abmaj9)would it be a (Gm7)waste (Cm7)e ven (Fm11)if I knew my (Abmaj7)place?

Should I (Abmaj13)leave it there?

(Abmaj9)Should I give up?

Or (Cm7)should I (Fm11)just keep chas ing (Abmaj7)pave ments (Abmaj13)e ven if it (Gm7)leads no where?

I (Eb)build my self up

and (Bb6)fly a round in cir cles, wait ing (Cm7)as my heart drops and and my (G7)back be gins to tin gle.

Fin al (Abmaj7)ly,

could this (Bb6)be

it or (Abmaj9)Should I give up?

Or (Cm7)should I (Fm11)just keep chas ing (Abmaj7)pave ments (Abmaj13)e ven if it (Gm7)leads no where?

Or (Abmaj9)would it be a (Gm7)waste (Cm7)e ven (Fm11)if I knew my (Abmaj7)place?

Should I (Abmaj13)leave it there?

(Abmaj9)Should I give up?

Or (Cm7)should I (Fm11)just keep chas ing (Abmaj7)pave ments (Abmaj13)e ven if it (Gm7)leads no where?

I (Gm7)leads no where?

Yeah.

(Abmaj7)Should I give up?

Or should I (Gm7)just keep chas ing pave ments e ven (Fm7)if it leads no (Bb6)where?

Or would it (Abmaj7)be a waste e ven if I (Gaug7)knew my place?

Should I leave it (F9)there?

Should I

give up?

Or should I (Abmaj9)just keep on (Cm7)chas ing pave ments?

Should I (Gm7)just keep on chas ing pave ments?

(Abmaj7)Or

(Gm7)leads no where?
