Key: E
Introduction:
Bm
Mind the mice where you stand
A Bm
Make sure you have your act all planned
Bm
Think it twice and again
A Bm
There will be hell if you can't explain
Bm
You've been out, you've been cruel
A Bm
You've been a self indulgent fool
Bm
There's no doubt, you've done wrong
A Bm
And now you just try to play along
D A
So pick yourself up now and set things straight
Em
Though I know you're full of doubt,
Bm A
you just gotta let it out
D A
And pick yourself up now before it's too late
Em
If you wanna keep that ring,
Bm A
if she ever meant a thing
Don't lie
D A
(Verse)
Bm
Mind the mice where you walk
A Bm
Coz you'll regret it all around the clock
Bm
It's the price that you pay
A Bm
remorse like that will surely stay
Bm
She don't know where you've been
A Bm
But the ice you're on is getting thin
Bm
She don't know what you've done
A Bm
But she will get it in the longer run
(Chorus)
D A
So pick yourself up now and set things straight
Em
Though I know you're full of doubt,
Bm A
you just gotta let it out
D A
And pick yourself up now before it's too late
Em
If you wanna keep that ring,
Bm A
if she ever meant a thing
(POST-Chorus)

Don't lie

BmA G D
Oh you've still got it all boy
F# Bm
In the palm of your hand
Bm A G D
If you get the chance you will lose it all
F# Bm
With your head stuck in the sand
Bm
Stuck in the sand
(BUILD-UP)
BmA G D
Oh you've still got it all boy
F# Bm
Don't throw it all away

It's about time to get your head out now

If you want her to stay
(Chorus)
D A
So pick yourself up now and set things straight
Em
Though I know you're full of doubt,

if she ever meant a thing
