  			Intro 

verse 1 
E                   G#       A* 
  I've gotta find a way to loosen up 
E5          Badd4                  A 
  I'm wound tighter than a magnet's coil 
E              G#       A* 
  The longer I try to keep my mouth shut 
E5                  Badd4          A 
  The sooner little brain is gonna boil 


verse 2 
E                 G#           A* 
  And if you turn back just to fuck me up 
E5              Badd4               A 
  I'll cut you loose and watch you fall 
E          G#           A* 
  It feels good just to bitch about it 
E5              Badd4         A 
  Scratch that itch until it bleeds 


Chorus 1 
A                             B 
  But I don't really want to lose you 
A                               B 
  And I can't play this silent game 
A                                B 
 'Cause when I talk the silence follows 
A                               B 
  You never say what's on your mind 


verse 3 
E        G#       A* 
  If you laugh to see me so defensive 
E5               Badd4           A 
  I'll know I've made another enemy 
E        G#            A* 
  Nobody wants another mirror on their fears 
E5                Badd4         A 
  I guess that's all you are to me 


Chorus 2 
A                             B 
  But I don't really want to lose this 
A                        B 
  Does it all depend on you? 
A                        B 
  It's always personal between us 
A                               B 
  You won't say what's on your mind 
                                       E 
  What's on your mind, what's on your mind
