Verse:
D5                     F#5
If I was bold enough
B5                           G5
I would follow you forever but
D5                             A5     (intro riff)        
Darling, please, rescue me, take me out


D5                     F#5
Some may say it's my fate
B5                           G5
Am I just in time or am I late?
D5                             A5     
If you can, understand, then



Chorus:
B5   D5   G5  (Quick transition from B5 on 2nd fret to D5 on 5th fret, charging 
chords with the lyrics)
Take me out
G5                  D5                F#5
I don't start, I don't end, I don't change on my own
B5   D5   G5
Take me out
G5                  D5                F#5
I don't lose, I don't win, I don't do well alone (alone, alone, alone)
B5        A5               D5            G5
Love is what you make it, take my heart and break it
B5   D5   G5
Take me out, I dont want to stay home 

(Intro/Riff)


Verse:
D5                                F#5
You make me dread, you make me sweat
B5                            G5
But can you make love mean something instead
D5                     A5         
Something real, make me feel, then

B5   D5   G5
Take me out
G5                  D5                F#5

B5        A5               D5            G5
Love is what you make it, take my heart and break it

Take me out, I dont want to stay home


Bridge:  (carry the Bm from the end of the chorus into the bridge)

I don't want to stay here
D5                                       G5
I don't want to live half my life and disappear
B5                                           A5
So if you want to take chances, take a chance on me
