Well, you done done me an' you bet I felt it

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest

[Verso 3]
C
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
G
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
Am
But my breath fogged up the glass
F
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
C
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
G
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
F
Our name is our virtue
 
C G Am
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
F
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Open up your mind and see like me
Am
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
C
So please don't, please don't, please don't
G
There's no need to complicate
Am
'Cause our time is short
F D7/F# C G Am F
This, oh this, oh this is our fate. I'm yours
