The rest of the song follows a similar pattern, although there is some variation.

The Am/G in the chorus is optional but it adds depth to the chord progression.

[Verse 1]
Am Em Trying to change your mind is 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 had planned Dm Em Choices taken from our hands Dm Em F Finally, there's space to stand alone
[Chorus]
F G My mind is a runaway Em Am And I find it's too hard to breathe Am/G F G Just say what you want to say Em Am Are you there? Tell me, are you there? Am/G F G I feel these growing pains Em Am Have made us far too strong Am/G F G We'll change if you want to change Em Am Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
F G My mind is a runaway Em Am And I find it's too hard to breathe Am/G F G Just say what you want to say Em Am Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
