Verse 1

G C

I’ve made up my mind

G C

Don’t need to think it over

G C

If I’m wrong I am right

G C

Don’t need to look no further

G C G

This ain’t lust, I know this is love

Chorus

C

But if I tell the world

G

I’ll never say enough

C

‘Cause it was not said to you

G

And that’s exactly what I need to do

C

If I’m in love with you

G C

Should I give up?

G C

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

G

Even if it leads nowhere?

C

Or would it be a waste?

G

Even if I knew my place?

C

Should I leave it there?

Verse 2

G C

Should I give up?

G C

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

G C

Even if it leads nowhere?

G C

I’d build myself up

G C

And fly around in circles

G C

Waitin’ as my heart drops

G C

And my back begins to tingle

G C G

Finally, could this be it?

Chorus

C

But if I tell the world

G

I’ll never say enough

C

‘Cause it was not said to you

G

And that’s exactly what I need to do

C

If I’m in love with you

G C

Should I give up?

G C

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nohere?

Should I leave it there?
