                  Am   C
What's your explanation
                    F
Cause everybody got one
                  Am
What's your expectation
    C                         F
I know you got some of those too

Are you one to fly with the creatures
that always burn up in the flame
Or are you one to sing with the creatures
that make up the rules to the game

Chorus:
Dm           F                         A#
I won't get hung up, strung up on the reasons why
    Dm          F                      A#
If you knew me better, baby you would change your
mind
     C             Dm
And leave it all behind
                 Am   C F Dm
What's your explanation

What's your favorite color, your sign
Your basic sense of style and date of birth
Who's going to win your heart and when your heart's
been won
And when your hearts been won is it still your
daddy first

Are you one to dance to the rhythm or break till
the pain shakes loose
Or are you one to cry
Oh, but you stay dry all night long

Chorus:
I won't hung up, strung up on the reasons why
If I knew you better, maybe I could change
your mind
If you knew me better, maybe you will change
your mind
And leave it all behind
What's your explanation

Are you one to fly with the creatures that
always burn up in the flame
Or are you one to sing with the creatures that
make up the rules to the game
What's your explanation - x3
Cause everybody got one - x2
Everybody got one
