Intro:
F#5/D Bsus2

Verse:
F#5/D                       Bsus2
Pick me, I'm everything you wanted to pay for
F#5/D                       Bsus2     
Pick me, I'm fashionable, I knew I could change you
F#5/D                    Bsus2
Pick me, I'm open to persuasion, I could be
F#5/D                            Bsus2
Pick me, I'll bite your head off slowly, but carefully

Chorus:
        F#5             F#5/D
So just tell me that I'm right
A5                Bsus2
Tell me that this matters 
                F#5           F#5/D
Tell me that persistence will pay off
      A5                 Bsus2
And illusions won't just shatter

    F#5/D  Bsus2
So pick me
             F#5/D  Bsus2
Come on and pick me

Verse:
F#5/D                         Bsus2
Pick me, I'll let you pick my clothes out, my hair too
F#5/D                    Bsus2
Pick me, I'll consider a name change just for you
F#5/D                        Bsus2
Pick me, I'll get you in the end, just you wait and see
F#5/D                    Bsus2
Pick me, I might just explode, it could get messy

Chorus:
        F#5             F#5/D
So just tell me that I'm right
A5                Bsus2
Tell me that this matters 
                F#5           F#5/D
Tell me that persistence will pay off
      A5                 Bsus2
And illusions won't just shatter

                     F#5            F#5/D
'Cause I have waited such a long, long time
     A5                  Bsus2
Just trying to make this matter
                 F#5         F#5/D
Trying to get persistence to pay off
            A5          A5/E
'Till we're cynical and shattered

Bridge:
       Bsus2            B6sus2-B7sus2
So sit back, relax, and open wide
       F#5
Let me pour some of this sound inside
Bsus2           B6sus2-B7sus2
Count to three, do you see
     A5              A5/E
Just how sweet you'd be with me?

Bsus2            B6sus2-B7sus2
Take the time to understand 
           F#5 
There's not many things that I'll demand
Bsus2           B6sus2-B7sus2
Count to three, do you see
     A5           A5/E            Bsus2 B6sus2-B7sus2
Just how sweet we both could be? 
F#5                    Bsus2 B6sus2-B7sus2 A5 A5/E
 You could be with me

Chorus:
        Bsus2         B6sus2-B7sus2
So just tell me that I'm right 
A5                A5/E
Tell me that this matters
                Bsus2          B6sus2-B7sus2
Tell me that persistence will pay off
       A5                A5/E
And illusions won't just shatter

                     Bsus2          B6sus2-B7sus2
'Cause I have waited such a long, long time
     A5                  A5/E
Just trying to make this matter
                 Bsus2        B6sus2-B7sus2
Trying to get persistence to pay off
            A5          A5/E
'Till we're cynical and shattered

Shattered, shattered, shattered

    F#5/D  Bsus2
So pick me
             F#5/D  
Come on and pick me
 Bsus
Pick me
