A Cmaj7 C I wanted to be with you alone A Cmaj7 C and talk about the weather A Cmaj7 C But traditions I can trace against the child in your face A Cmaj7 C Won't escape my attention You keep your distance with a system of touch And gentle persuasion I'm lost in admiration - could I need you this much? Oh, you're wasting my time You're just, just, just wasting time Chorus: G Em Something happens and I'm head over heels G Em I never find out til I'm head over heels G Em Something happens and I'm head over heels Dm7 Ah, don't take my heart don't break my heart Don't don't don't throw it away A Cmaj7 C throw it away, A Cmaj7 C throw it away! I made a fire and watching it burn I thought of your future With one foot in the past, now just how long will it last? No, no, no, have you no ambition? My mother and my brother’s used to breathing clean air Nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age And dreaming I’m a doctor Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby It’s hard to be a man when there’s a gun in your hand Nothing ever changes when you’re acting your age Oh, I feel so Chorus: Something happens and I'm head over heels I never find out 'till I'm head over heels Something happens and I'm head over heels Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart Don't, don't, don't throw it away C D This is my four leaf clover C I'm on the line, one open mind D This is my four leaf clover La la-la la la, la la-la la la La la la-la la-la La la-la la la, la la-la la la La la la-la la-la La la-la la la, la la-la la la La la la-la la-la La la-la la la, la la-la la la La la la-la la-la La la-la la la, la la-la la la In my mind’s eye La la la-la la-la One little boy, one little man La la-la la la, la la-la la la Funny how time flies You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  Cm  Cmaj7  Cmaj  D  Dm  Dm7  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
