A                             C
I've got your heart in my hand
                                G
I've got your tongue in my mouth
                                 F
I've got your thoughts in my head
                                  A
I've got your dreams on the burner
C  G  F  A
(Relax, Relax)
A          C
I'll be careful
          G
I'll be cautious
         F
I'll be true
A          C
I'll be reckless
           G
I'll be guiltless
                        F
It's what I was meant to do

[Chorus]
D                    A
It doesn't have to hurt
                   C
It doesn't have to sting
                    G
It doesn't have to burn
                           D
It doesn't have to mean a thing
                    A
It doesn't have to break
                    C
It doesn't have to fall
                           G
It doesn't have to tear you up
                           G
If you can take it to the wall
N.C.
(Take it to the wall)

[Verse]
A                           C
It takes courage and strength
                      G
To get out of the world
                          F
It takes courage and then some
A             C
What's so precious?
        G
So delicious
                F
We can't even wait
A                     C                    G
You're young for a day and you're young forever
  F
Forever

[Chorus]
D                    A
It doesn't have to hurt
                   C
It doesn't have to sting
                    G
It doesn't have to burn
                           D
It doesn't have to mean a thing
                    A
It doesn't have to break
                    C
It doesn't have to fall
                           G
It doesn't have to tear you up
                           G
If you can take it to the wall
N.C.
(Take it to the wall)
