Notes: The chord labeled "F?" above is sometimes played as a traditional F
chord (above, in parentheses), but it is often difficult to tell which is
being played because the song is mostly downstrokes concentrating on the
four lowest strings (, , , and ). The same goes for / vs.
(also above, in parentheses). Play whatever sounds best to you.
The Esus4 is used only a few times throughout the song as a variation on Em
by hammering on the G string. I have separated the chords with commas in
those spots.
Chord changes are placed (roughly) above the word in the lyrics where
they occur. Chord changes placed after the end of a line take place after
the last word of that line but before the first word of the next line.
(Intro)
? ,, (play twice, then continue into verse)
Said you need to do it
'Cause you can't feel it tonight
Well you can if you want to
Want to take you outside
Want to show you the sky
To remind you why you shouldn't
Do your worst if you can
Do your worst if you can do it
You can if you want
You can take it, ya, you want to run
Said you wanted to then kissed the gun
You can if you want to
And you want to do it
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You are going to do it
Even if I don't want you to
Say it outright
That you don't want to see me tonight
And you won't if you don't want to
Hide it from me if you must
Hide it from me if you don't trust
Anything I say right to you
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You will if you want to
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You will if you want to
And you want to do it
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You are going to do it
Even if I don't want you to
I was inside
Painting your name on the window
I was somewhere inside
And I wanted to find out why you're hiding
I was tired of the fight
Look me in the eyes, say you can't do it
Look me in the eyes, say you can't do it, but
You will if you want to
Look me in the eyes, say you can't do it
Look me in the eyes, say you can't do it, but
You will if you want to
And you want to do it
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You are going to do it
Even if I don't want you to
(short instrumental - ? / - continue / to next line)
Shake it down
So much better
Tell me that you don't know what you do
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You will if you want to
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You will if you want to
And you want to do it
If you want to do it
You will if you want to
I wish I could make you right
