NO CAPO
[Verse 1]
Cm Db2 Cmin
I can just hear them now
Db2 Cmin
"How could you let us down?"
Db2 Cmin
But they don't know what I found
Db2 Cmin
Or see it from this way around
Db2 Cmin
Feeling it overtake
Db2 Cmin
All that I used to hate
Db2 Cmin
Worried 'bout every trait
Db2 Cmin
I tried but it's way too late
Db2 Cmin
All the signs I don't read
Db2 Cmin
Two sides of me can't agree
Db2 Cmin
When I breathe in too deep
Db2 Cmin Db2
Going with what I always longed for
[Chorus 1]
Cmin Db2
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2
I don’t care I’m in love
(Stop before it’s too late)
Cmin Db2
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2
I finally know what is love
(You don’t have what it takes)
(Stop before it’s not too late)
(I know there’s too much at stake)
(Making the same mistakes)
Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2
And I still don’t know why it’s happening
(Stop while it’s not too late)
Cmin Db2
And I still don’t know
[Verse 2]
Db2 Cmin
Finally taking flight
Db2 Cmin
I know you don't think it's right
Db2 Cmin
I know that you think it's fake
Db2 Cmin
Maybe fake's what I like
Db2 Cmin
Point is I have the right
Db2 Cmin
I'm thinking in black and white
Db2 Cmin
Thinking it's worth the fight
Db2 Cmin
Soon to be out of sight
Db2 Cmin
Knowing it all this time
Db2 Cmin Db2
Going with what I always longed for
[Chorus 1]
Cmin Db2
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2
I don’t care I’m in love
(Stop before it’s too late)
Cmin Db2
Feel like a brand new person
(But you make the same old mistakes)
Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2 Cmin Db2
So how do I know that it's right?
(You don’t have what it takes)
(Stop before it’s not too late)

So how will I know that it's right?
Cmin Db2
In a new direction
