Paramore

Don't try to take this from me. Don't try to take this from me. Now.
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waiting on me.
Least now, I'll never have to wonder what it's like
To sleep a year away.
Weren't we indestructible? Thought that we could brave it all.
Never thought that what would take me out was hiding down below.
Lost the battle
Win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore.
Starting over.
Head back in.
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it.
If there's a future, we want it now.
Don't try to take this from me. Don't try to take this from me. Now.
Wish I could find a crystal ball...
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good,
I would not take it for granted
Instead I have some memories... for the days I don't feel anything.
At the least, they will remind me not to make the same mistakes again.
Lost the battle
Win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore.
Starting over.
Head back in.
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it.
If there's a future, we want it now.
There's a time and a place to die.
This ain't it.
If there's a future, we want it now.

Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming day
Daydreaming into the night.

Living in a city of sleepless people
Who all know their limits and won’t go too far
Outside the lines
Out of their minds
I wanna get out and build my own home
on a street where reality is not much different
From dreams I’ve had
a dream is all I have

Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night

Creep past the hours
Like the shorter hand on the clock
Hanging on the wall of a schoolhouse somewhere
We wait for the bell
and we dream of somewhere else

Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night

not that i won’t remember where i’m from
just don’t wanna be here no more
it’s not enough
I’m gonna go
where the rest of the dreamers go

Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time (a dream is all i have)
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night (a dream of somewhere else)
Daydreamer
We used to be half alive
Now I’m alright.

I don’t mind
Letting you down easy but just give it time
If it don’t hurt now just wait just wait a while
You’re not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they’re feeding on

Pre
So what are you gonna do when the world don’t orbit around you?
What are you gonna do when the world don’t orbit around you?

Ch
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Ain’t it good
Being on your own

V2
Where you’re from
You might be the one who’s running things
You could ring anybody’s bell and get what you want
See it’s easy to ignore trouble
When you’re living in a bubble

Pre2
So what are you gonna do when the world don’t orbit around you?
What are you gonna do when nobody wants to fool with you

Ch
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Ain’t it good
Being on your own
Ain’t it good to be on your own
Ain’t it fun you can’t count on no one
Ain’t it good to be on your own
Ain’t it fun you can’t count on no one
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world

B
Don’t go cryin to your mama
Cause your on your own in the real world

Ch
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Ain’t it good
Being on your own
(Cause the word don’t orbit around you)

Out
Don’t go cryin to your mama
Cause you’re on your own in the real world

v1
i don’t even know myself at all
and i thought i would be happy (by now)
but the more i try to push it i realize
gotta let go of control

gotta let it happen
let it happen
gotta let it happen
let it happen

v2
every night i try my best to dream
tomorrow makes it better
wake up to the cold reality
that not a thing is changed
but it will happen
gotta let it happen
let it happen
let it happen

ch
it’s just a spark
but it’s enough
to keep me going
and when it’s dark out
no one’s around
it keeps glowing

brdg
and the salt in these wounds
isn’t burning any more than it used to
it’s not that i don’t feel the pain
i’m just not afraid of hurting anymore
all the blood in these veins
isn’t pumping any less than it ever has
and that’s the hope i have
the only thing that i know’s keeping me alive

GOTTA LET IT HAPPEN

Ch
it’s just a spark
but it’s enough to keep me going
and when it’s dark out
no one’s around
it keeps glowing

Why do you care what people think
Are you hooked up to their leash
You know anklebiters
Ate up your personality
Try to remember how it felt
To just make up your own steps
And let anklebiters
Chew up, spit out someone else

Pre
Fall in love with yourself

Ch
Because someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got

V2
What do you actually expect
A broken mirror to reflect
You know anklebiters gave you a false perspective
And why do I defend your ignorance
Oh why do I defend the state you’re in

Pre2
You should fall in love with yourself oh again
Fall in love with yourself

Ch
Because someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got
Why you wanna please the world and leave yourself to drop dead
Someday you’re gonna be the only one you’ve got

V1 it’s really hard
i can’t cry in your arms cause you’re not here
it’s not your fault and if it was i wouldn’t care
my heart is bigger than the distance in between us
i know it cause i feel it beating. So strong it’ll knock you down.

V1 pt2 over here
can’t count the miles away from where i wanna be
bet your skin is warm and that you’re smiling
yeah that’s what i always loved the most about you
confident even when i come unglued
so strong you could knock me down

CH baby if i’m half the man i say i am
if i’m a woman with no fear just like i claim i am
then i’ll believe in what you say there’s nothing left for you to do
the only proof that i need is you

V2 i’ll get in my car
drive it faster than i ever did before
head out west until i finally reached the shore
then i’ll swim out to wherever you are
we’ll ride the undercurrent down
to the floor
making friends with all the unfamiliar creatures
pushing back on the unnecessary pressure
come up for air just so you know we won’t drown
so strong,
the weight of the world can’t keep us down

CH baby if i’m half the man i say i am
if i’m a woman with no fear just like i claim i am
then i’ll believe in what you say there’s nothing left for you to do
the only proof that i need is you

BR so do you love me?
all you gotta do is say yes
now do you love me?
and i won’t ever second guess
now do you love me?
all you gotta do is say yes
do you love me?
then you already proved it

CH baby if i’m half the man i say i am
if i’m a woman with no fear just like i claim i am
then i’ll believe in what you say there’s nothing left for you to do
the only proof that i need is you

verse1- Now when you say you want to slow down
Does it mean you want a slow dance?
Maybe you just want a little extra time to focus on
our romance.

What do you mean I’ve “got it backwards”?
You know we’re gonna be forever...
Why are you telling me goodbye?
Aren’t you gonna stay the night?
(well...alright)

chorus - Are We Really Over Now?
Maybe I Can Change Your Mind
Darlin’ Soon As You Walk Out My Door.
I’m Gonna Call A Hundred Times.

verse2- Now I walk under a pink sky
Lovers float along and pass me by.
I pour my heart out to your voicemail
Let you know I caught a bus to your side of town...

And now I’m standing at your doorstep
with Los Angeles behind me.
If you don’t answer I’ll just use the key that I copied...
Cause I really need to see you.

(pre)- If you’re not here when I break in
I’m gonna go through your closet
Just so I can smell your skin...
As the chemicals swim, I know I’ll never love again.

chorus - Are We Really Over Now?
Maybe I Can Change Your Mind
Darlin’ Soon As You Walk Out My Door.
I’m Gonna Call A Hundred Times.

bridge - (guitar solo)
I’m not one of those crazy girls
I’m not one of the those crazy girls
I’m not one of those crazy girls

chorus - Hey baby are we Over Now?
Maybe I Can Change Your Mind
Darlin’ Soon As You Walk Out My Door.
I’m Gonna Call A Hundred Times.

Out
now i’m one of those crazy girls
now i’m one of those crazy girls

So what if I don’t have a lot to talk about?
I shut my mouth, keep it locked, until it counts.
What if I don’t ever want to leave my house?
Stay on the couch while all my friends are going out.

Alone.

You should be alone.... Yeah You should be alone...
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone.... Yeah We could be alone
But never get too lonely.

I’ll make the journey down the hall back to my room
Kill more time, let it rot inside its tomb.
See I ain’t one to climb some social ladder to...
some Shangri-La that all the cool kids will abuse.

Alone.
You should be alone.... Yeah You should be alone...
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone.... Yeah We could be alone
But never get too lonely.

Ohhhhhhhh ooooooh
I’m a loner in love, with you alone
Ohhhhhhhh ooooooh
Come be a loner, in love with me alone

You should be alone with me.
