D
I've been thinking
                        Bm
I'm not happy where I'm at
           D
And if you wanna lie and bat your eyes
   D
Settle down and compromise
            Bm
Go on with that

[Pre-chorus 1]
               A                     Bm
But you can't make me want it for myself
               A                             Bm
And you can't have me and play with someone else
             A                            A
And I can't make you want to change your mind

Even though I've tried, but

[Chorus]
G
I'm going to a safer place where
G
You can't be both here and there
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways

G
Throwing away what's holdin me back
G
Can't have both this and that
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways

                           Em
Go ahead and live it both ways
     Bm
And see how long I stay
                  Em
And live it both ways

[Verse 2]
            D
I've been thinking
                          Bm
Trouble follows wherе you go
         D
It's remarkable how words are thrown
             D
Whеn you're all alone
                           Bm
It only shows you're not grown

[Pre-chorus 2]
               A                         Bm
And you can't make me want to take your side
              A                    Bm
When all you want is to feel justified
               A                         A7
And you can't make me want to change my mind

Even though you've tried, but

[Chorus]
G
I'm going to a safer place where
G
You can't be both here and there
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways

G
Throwing away what's holdin me back
G
Can't have both this and that
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways

                           Em
Go ahead and live it both ways
     Bm
And see how long I stay
                  Em
And live it both ways

[Bridge]
G                   F#m
Sugar coated every damn reply
                    Bm
I needed you , you took your time
                         A7
And fed me dreams with sweet appeal
G                           F#m
Turned your monsters into butterflies
                           Bm
You crossed your heart I closed my eyes

And jumped with hopes a net would appear
G
Trying to shake the fear
A
Of you not being here, but

[Chorus]
G
I'm going to a safer place where
G
You can't be both here and there
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways
G
Throwing away what's holdin me back
G
Can't have both this and that
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways

G
I'm going to a safer place where
G
You can't be both here and there
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways
G
Throwing away what's holdin me back
G
Can't have both this and that
Bm
You gotta pick it
Bm
You know you can't live it both ways

                           Em
Go ahead and live it both ways
     F#m
And see how long I stay
                  Em
And live it both ways
