[Intro]
Dm G C Am x2

[Verse 1]
       Dm           G
Do you know what is means
         C          Am
when you think on a screen?
        Dm         G
Can you make memories
           C              Am
if they’re just make believe?

[Bridge]
    Dm                    G
Oh, I don’t know if I can take
    Em              Am
you seriously these days
   Dm                    G
So suddenly everything’s changed
          C                    Am
and we’re standing in the same place

[Chorus]
   Dm G
Oh no
                   C         Am
I’m on the outside looking in
                    Dm          G
I never said what I really meant
                    C            Am
I wasn’t made to be medicine for you
     Dm   G
It’s true
                       C            Am
You can’t seem to make up your mind
                  Dm            G
When I told you I did with mine
                      C
You won’t know if you never try
     Am
It’s true

[Verse 2]
       Dm           G
Do you know what it means?
     C              Am
Is a sign what you see?
      Dm       G
Maybe we could agree
           C            Am
But that’s not up to me

[Bridge]
    Dm                    G
Oh, I don’t know if I can say
     Em                   Am

   Dm                    G
So suddenly nothing has changed
           C                   Am
I’ve been reading on the wrong page

[Chorus]
   Dm G
Oh no
                   C         Am
I’m on the outside looking in
                    Dm           G
I never said what I really meant
                    C            Am
I wasn’t made to be medicine for you
     Dm   G
It’s true
                       C           Am
You can’t seem to make up your mind
                  Dm           G
When I told you I did with mine
                      C
You won’t know if you never try
         Am
It’s true
