           G
I've been suicidal
                          Bm7
You've been gone for weeks
       A                                D
If I'm undecided, will you decide for me?
       G
Baby, I'll do anythin' that you wanna
                           Bm7
I'll try anythin' that you wanna
       A
I'll try
'Cause you're on my mind

Chorus:
D       G
Oh-oh, Caroline
        Bm7     A
I wanna get it right this time
              D      G
'Cause you're always on my mind
Bm7     A             D
Oh-oh, Caroline (Oh-oh)

Getting suicidal?
It's honestly not for me
I'm gettin' on my nerves by gettin' on my knees
Getting cucked, I don't need it
The place I want to be is somewhere in your heart
Somewhere guaranteed

                   G
'Cause baby, I'll do anything that you wanna
                           Bm7
I'll try anything that you wanna
A                                 D
I'll find myself in the moonlight
                G
'Cause baby, I want everythin' that you wanna
                          Bm7                 A
And I've tried to just be me like a thousand times
But you're on my mind

Chorus:
Oh-oh, Caroline
I wanna get it right this time
'Cause you're always on my mind (Always on my mind)
Oh-oh, Caroline (Oh-oh)

D          G            Bm7             A
Oh, I've tried to find another name a thousand times
        D    G                    Bm7  A
But the only one that rhymes, is "Oh, Caroline!"
A     G
Just give me one more chance tonight
                                         A
'Cause I don't want to waste my life without you, baby
    G
No, I don't want to waste my life without you, baby

G              Bm7 A
Oh-oh, Caroline
                       D
Get it right this time
G
Always on my mind
Bm7                 A
I wanna get it right
But you're on my mind

Chorus:
Oh-oh, Caroline
I wanna get it right this time
'Cause you're always on my mind
Oh-oh, Caroline (Oh-oh)
