  C#
Planted lemon trees since I was twenty-three
                      G#
Watching, waiting for em to grow
                      Cm
But still, it tasted bittersweet
               C#
No matter what I did
               G#   Cm
No matter what I did
C#
I was hard-headed to the ninth degree
                    G#
Punch and push away anything
                       Cm
I thought would make a mess of me
                 C#
That's just what I did
                 G#   Cm
That's just what I did

 C#
Make me die, make me melt
 G#              Cm
You changed the way I felt
 C#
With your touch, with your help
 G#                       Cm
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else

Chorus:
 C#
You're all I see in my mind
G#      Cm
I think I see a lifetime
 C#
Done holding on to myself
 G#                       Cm
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
C#
Painlessly caught in your eyes
G#         Cm
I think I see a lifetime
 C#
Done holding on to myself
 G#                       Cm
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else

You made me believe that she ain't no make-believe
I'll stop checking horoscopes to cope with all my misery
That's just what you did
That's just what you did, yeah

Made me die, made me melt
You've changed the way I felt
With your touch, with your help
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else

Chorus:
You're all I see in my mind (In my mind)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (In your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else

 C#
Make me die, make me melt
 G#              Cm
You changed the way I felt
 C#
With your touch, with your help
 G#
You showed me what it means to
fall in deep like no one else

Chorus:
You're all I see in my mind (In my mind)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
Painlessly caught in your eyes (In your eyes)
I think I see a lifetime (A lifetime)
Done holding on to myself (To myself)
You took a pessimist and turned me into something else
