Pick Up Before You Go

Tom: Cm

Abmaj7  G7  Abmaj7  G7
Abmaj7  G7  Abmaj7  G7
Abmaj7  G7

[Chorus]
Abmaj7
Pick up before you go
                         G7
I wanna let it show that I was the one who stayed
G7
I don’t wanna see nothing
Abmaj7                                              G7
Don’t wanna see a trace of you trying for something so you can save your face, oh
Abmaj7
Pick up before you go
                    G7
I wanna forget everything you made me live
                  Abmaj7
'Cause all I ever did was give what I could give
                G7
I was the one betrayed
                                                  Abmaj7
You were the one unscathed and now look what I’ve made
                    G7
I wanna forget everything you
G7
(Pick up, pick, pick up, pick, pick up before you)
                       Abmaj7
(Go, I wanna, I wanna) I wanna let it show that
Abma7
(Let it show)
Abmaj7
I was the one who...

(I was the one betrayed, you were the one unscathed)
                    G7
I wanna forget everything you made me live
G7
(And now look what I’ve made)

[Verse 1]
Abmaj7
Giving this some thought
                             G7
The only thing that drops is my jaw to the floor
                           Abmaj7                                             G7
'Cause all I ever think of now is how I’m helpless, poor and not at all ready for this outcome
Abmaj7
Did I think?
Abmaj7
Did I wonder?
Abmaj7
Did you return to sender?
                       G7
'Cause my mind doesn’t wander
G7
It threw my thoughts through a blender
                                Abmaj7
Now I’ll try to recover all the loose ends
                                  G7
It’s the only way I’ll ever begin to be the very same person that I wanna be

[Verse 2]
Abmaj7                      G7                              Abmaj7
When I look into the mirror and all I see standing near are empty faces
                      G7
I take paces back and forth
G7
As I walk out the door and scream
Abmaj7
What the fuck is wrong with me?
   G7
Do I have some sort of a disease?
       Abmaj7
And if there’s anything to make it worse
G7
I can’t get past this fucking curse!

[Chorus]
Abmaj7
Pick up before you go
                    G7
I wanna forget everything you made me live
                          Abmaj7
'Cause all I ever did was give what I could give
                G7
I was the one betrayed
                   Abmaj7
You were the one unscathed and now look what I’ve made
                    G7
I wanna forget everything you
G7
(Pick up, pick, pick up, pick, pick up before you)
G7
(Go, I wanna, I wanna) I wanna let it show that
G7
(Let it show)
Abmaj7
I was the one who...
Abmaj7
(I was the one betrayed, you were the one unscathed)
                    G7
I wanna forget everything you made me live
                            Abmaj7
(And now look what I’ve made)
