Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

i've got a million things going around in my head

 and i never really paid attention to what you said, no

(same chords)

and now i wish that i would have said goodbye,

but it's too late, and all i do is give and all you do is take

Chorus

you've gotta look before you leap

and take a good look at your so-called friends

 yeah, that's the company you keep

 you've got words coming from all directions

(same chords)

you gotta look before you leap

and take a look at your so-called friends

yeah, that's the company you keep - they got words, oh yeah

Verse 2

there's a lot fo things that were never said

and if we'd grown up faster then i could have stood up

but - i should have cut you loose a long time ago,

but it's much too late

and all i do is give and all you do is take

repeat chorus

Verse 3

well, there never was a time when you didn't try to lord me over

never was there a time when i felt bad for you

whenever you had the chance, the way i see it

you tried to screw me over

never was there a time when i wasn't there for you

you've gotta look before you leap, oh yeah (2x bass and drums only)

repeat chorus

they got words, oh yeah they got words, oh yeah

they keep flying their flags

but they're never gonna understand
