Introduction: Riff 1


Riff 2:
I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in
And I put them up on a higher hill
To a place I’ve never been.
And I’ll wait for you if you want me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
And I’ll wait for you if you ask me to,
Am I just losing my mind?


Chorus:
And im always hanging on,
And im always closing doors,
And im always saying no,
No, when I really really want it all,
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you.


Riff 2:
And I’ll take myself from the bottom shelf
And im on the street again
But it’s the newer town, and the rain come down,
In a place I’ve never been.
And I play for you if you ask me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
Yeah I play for you if you want me to,
Am I just losing my mind?


Chorus:
Cause im always hanging on,
And im always closing doors.
And im always saying no,
No, when I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want it all
When I really really want you.
When I really really want it all
I really really want
Yeah I really really want it all
When I really really wanted you.


Riff 2:
I take myself from the bottom shelf
And I reel my troubles in.
And I put them up on a higher hill,
To a place I’ve never been.
And I’ll play for you if you ask me to,
Am I just wasting my time?
Yeah I’ll play for you if you want me to,
Am I just losing my mind?
