  B
Lookout kid, trust your heart
You don't have to play the part they wrote for you
Just be true
There are things that you can do
     G#m                              E
That no one else on earth could ever do
But I can't teach you
          B
I can't teach it to you

Lookout kid, trust your mind
But you can't trust it everytime
You know it plays tricks on you
And it don't give a damn if you
are happy or you're sad
But if you've lost it, don't feel bad
'Cause it's alright to be sad

 B
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do
G#m
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
 E
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
 B
Do-do-do-do

Lookout kid, trust your body
You can dance, and you can shake
Things will break, you make mistakes
You lose your friends, again and again
'Cause nothing is ever perfect
No one's perfect
Let me say it again: no one's perfect
Right

E         C#m
A lifetime   of skinned knees
E            C#m
And heartbreak  comes so easy
E                  C#m              B
But a life without pain would be boring

Chorus:
           G#m            E
And if you feel it, it's fine
           B
I give you everything that's mine
           C#m            E
I give you my heart and my precious time

 B
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do-do

Lookout kid, trust your soul
It ain't hard to rock n' roll
You know how to move your hips
And you know God is cool with it
Some people want the rock without the roll
But we all know, there’s no God without soul
Right

A lifetime of skinned knees
And heartbreak comes so easily
But a life without you
Would be boring for someone like me

Chorus:
And if you feel it, it's fine
I give you everything that's mine
I give you my heart and my precious time
(Precious time)
(I'll give you everything)
I give you my heart and my precious time

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-do-do

              B
Unconditional
It's unconditional
It's unconditional
          G#m         E
No matter what you do
                  B
It's unconditional
It's unconditional
          G#m         E
No matter what you do
                  B
It's unconditional
