Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1
i've got a million things going around in my head
and i never really paid attention to what you said, no
(same chords)
and now i wish that i would have said goodbye,
but it's too late, and all i do is give and all you do is take
Chorus
you've gotta look before you leap
and take a good look at your so-called friends
yeah, that's the company you keep
you've got words coming from all directions
(same chords)
you gotta look before you leap
and take a look at your so-called friends
yeah, that's the company you keep - they got words, oh yeah
Verse 2
there's a lot fo things that were never said
and if we'd grown up faster then i could have stood up
but - i should have cut you loose a long time ago,
but it's much too late
and all i do is give and all you do is take
repeat chorus
Verse 3
well, there never was a time when you didn't try to lord me over
never was there a time when i felt bad for you
whenever you had the chance, the way i see it
you tried to screw me over
never was there a time when i wasn't there for you
you've gotta look before you leap, oh yeah (2x bass and drums only)
repeat chorus
they got words, oh yeah they got words, oh yeah
they keep flying their flags
but they're never gonna understand
