Intro Am Em Verse Am Em Try to change your mind, it's like the weather Am Em And you don't make my heart beat like you used to F I've been waiting for a sign Dm Em You've been saving all your lines Am Em We could save each other for the better Am Em And when you say my name I'll be a memory F This is more than we have planned Dm Em Choices taken from our hands Dm Em F Finally this fades to stand alone F G My mind is a runaway Em Am And I'll find it's too hard to breathe F G Just say what you want to say Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? F G I fear these growing pains Em Am Have made us far too strong F G We'll change if you want to change Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? Verse Am Em You could lose yourself and search forever Am Em Looking for the person that you'll never be F We've been trying to compensate Dm Em Time to learn from our mistakes Am Em Maybe one day we'll fit back together Am Em I'll pick up the pieces and we'll rearrange F Now we need to follow fate Dm Em Now we look the other way Dm Em F Now we find the strength to stand alone F G My mind is a runaway Em Am And I'll find it's too hard to breathe F G Just say what you want to say Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? F G I fear these growing pains Em Am Have made us far too strong F G We'll change if you want to change Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? Bridge G C Em F We've been changing into something more G C Em F Familiar faces turning into storms G C Em F These growing pains have made us far too strong F F G We move along, we move along Em Am I'll find it's too hard to breathe F G Just say what you want to say Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? F G My mind is a runaway Em Am And I'll find it's too hard to breathe F G Just say what you want to say Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? F G I fear these growing pains Em Am Have made us far too strong F G We'll change if you want to change Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? F G My mind is a runaway Em Am And I'll find it's too hard to breathe F G Just say what you want to say Are you there? Em Am Tell me, are you there? F G I fear these growing pains Em Am Have made us far too strong F G We'll change if you want to change Are you there? Em Am F Tell me, are you there?
