1.
D - A / Bm G
I don't want to change your mind - I don't want to think about your mind
E A B E
they say love is blind - I don't think you're blind
You don't want to understand and I don't want to shake your father's hand
and walk in the sand and act like a man
Chorus 1:
G A Bm E
I get on the bus and ride past our stop - and though I'm late I can't get off
G A
I just can't bear to tell you some lies
|: D G A :|
and narrow your eyes
narrow your eyes
2.
We'll take back everything we said - split up all the things and move ahead
forgot how you said to split your side off the bed
Chorus 2:
I get on my bike and ride down our block
ride through the world through the green lights
but when I think of all your advice
I narrow my eyes
narrow my eyes
