C            C/B
I'm standing here 
Am         F
My head is spinning
C                 C/B
Was it something I said
Am                F
Was it somewhere I should've been now
C            C/B
I'll make it up to you
Am                  F
Just tell me you're done with me
          G
You're done with me

(Pause)
        C   C/B
Why not fight
         Am       F
Why give up so easily
     C        C/B
I've seen you around
             Am               F
When all the angels touch the ground
                    C     C/B
And you can hand me down, baby
(Strum Am    F    G)

(Continue picking)
C         C/B            Am     F
Know what friend I don't care
C             C/B                Am   F
Cause I don't think you're being fair
C            C/B                  Am        F
It's in your head, it's out of my hands
C           C/B            Am    F
And I don't need you after all
                  G
I said it's after all

(Pause)
(Strum)
        C   C/B
Why not fight
         Am       F
Why give up so easily

When all the angels touch the ground
                    C     C/B
And you can hand me down, yea
        Am   F   G
Hand me down

        C   C/B
Why not fight
         Am       F
Why give up so easily
     C        C/B
I've seen you around
             Am               F
When all the angels touch the ground
                    C   
And you can hand me down
