       A		  
When I met you, you were on your back.
A				      D
We still spend most afternoons like that,
            A
but not for long.
  A
I find myself enjoying you,
        A
but you play these reckless games
             D
you’ll never lose
               A
as long as I’m around.


Chorus.

               D
Do you want to tie me up?
       G
Do you want to tie me down?
            D
Go ahead and do it now.

   D					             G  A
So far, so good, let it roll, let it ride, ride.
   D						      A
So far, so good, let us fall, let us fight, fight.
        G          A
It’s no fun on the sidelines.

   A
We both know I’m too young for you,
             A
and when you fake a laugh behind the wheel,
  D				    A
I know where this road is heading to.
       A
With a sunken lie I lay in bed,
    A
But I will live to be twenty-three.
    D 			A
And you’ll see just how clever I can be…


Chorus, Then…

A   D   A   D      A  D
Driving backwards, wasting time.
A     D       A   D        A     D
Young love is ruthless, so learn to fly.
D
You taught me things I can’t forget.
A
Positions that I don’t regret.
  G			  
I can’t walk away, and I can’t shake the taste.


Chorus.

		D
Do you want to tie me up?
        G
Do you want to tie me down?
            D
Go ahead and do it now.
