E         B                 A
Where you off to with that head of yours
E         B                    A
Is there somewhere you should be
E       B                A
Was it something that I said the time I held you down
     E                 B              A     F#
And told you it's not you, it's only me, maybe

Chorus:
       A        E       F#
Don't take what I don't mean
(Give me back my piece of mind)
       A       E       F#
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
    A          E       F#
No way you'll silence me
        E
You'll see

E        B               A
What you up to now your mirrors gone
E         B                  A
Is there someone you should be
E         B                A
Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you
     E      B A
But honestly
     E      B A
But honestly
     E      B A F#
But honestly

Chorus:
Don't take what I don't mean
(Give me back my piece of mind)
Don't say what I don't mean
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
No where to hide from meE
You'll see

B                       C#m
And tonight I thank the stars
                      C
As I count my lucky scars
                             E
For everything you've given me
B                           C#m
And all the words I gave to you
                               C
Something borrowed something blue
If you want them back

              E
I'll give it to you
         D
Give it to you
         C
Give it to you
         A
Give it to you

Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you

Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you

Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you
Give it to you

         E
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
          D  
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
         C
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
         A
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
