Bm             Bm/A
I woke up this morning
          Bm/G#                  G        F#
With the burning of love hanging over my head
As I walked into the living room
Sit with you
Discuss what's going on

Is it me?
Is it you?
Is it something I forgot to do?
Oh, tell me so that I understand

Chorus:
Bm
I just need some time
Bm/A
Gather all my thoughts
Bm/G#               G           F#
To make up for the love I just lost
Bm
You've been so good to me
Bm/A
Given me everything
 G                            F#
Take what you want 'cause it doesn't
belong to me

I woke up this morning with a hurting
That I would never ever wish upon
Even my worst enemy
Who is she?
What the hell do you people want?

Is it me?
Is it you?
Is it something I forgot to do?
Oh, tell me so that I understand

Chorus:
Oh, I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost
You've been so good to me
Given me everything
Take what you want 'cause it doesn't
belong to me anyway

Oh, oh
Hey, hey
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah'
Oh

Chorus:
I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost
You've been so good to me
Given me everything
Take what you want 'cause it doesn't belong to me
I just need some time
Gather all my thoughts
To make up for the love I just lost
You've been so good to me
Given me everything
Take what you want 'cause it doesn't belong to me
