[Intro]

 C
(Pick yourself up, kid, ooh)

 Fmaj7
(Pick yourself up, kid, ooh)

[Verse 1]

C
  Pick yourself up, kid

                 Fmaj7
I can't bare the weight

Pick your mood up, friend

                  C
We don't have the time

When you find someone

              Fmaj7
We don't run away

Pick yourself up, kid [Verse 2]

C
  All those books in your head

                        Fmaj7
Is that all this really was?

Just a role you played

                 C
You could hide behind

Is it what you want?

                  Fmaj7
To bury yourself away

Before your time goes? [Pre-Chorus]

               Am   C    G        Fmaj7
I don't want a love that holds us back

               Am   C    G       Fmaj7
I don't want a life that I can't have

[Chorus]

       C
'Cause people need a melody to open their eyes

                                   Fmaj7
Like a key to a memory frozen in time

C
Holding onto everything, you're stuck in the past

                                          Fmaj7
Boy, when you gonna learn the world moves fast?

[Verse 3]

C
  So pick yourself up, kid

                 Fmaj7
I can't bare the weight

Let the light back in

                           C
'Cause you've been walkin' blind

Now it's all on you

                 Fmaj7
Don't you let it fade

Before your time goes [Pre-Chorus]

               Am   C    G        Fmaj7
I don't want a love that holds us back

               Am   C    G       Fmaj7
I don't want a life that I can't have

[Chorus]
