G                       C          G
Tired of the sounds of talking too loud
    G                         D
Of walls and of windows which always surround
    G                 C              G
Of feeling my feet attached to this ground
   D                     C             G
If I had my way I would just have you ‘round

I’m tired of trudging through cities and towns
     G                          D
The soles of my sneakers won’t stop wearing down
    G                      C             G
If love is so simple, then where are you now?

If I had my way I would just have you ‘round

I’m stubborn and sick of these simple solutions
    C                   G
Of wondering what isn’t right
    C                      Em
Of not knowing whether I’m winning or losing
     C                   D
I’ll always be wondering why

G                        C             G
Tired of spotting these shapes in the clouds
    G                   D
Of romantic movies and laughing out loud
    G                      C            G
Of feeling alone when I’m stuck in the crowd
   D                     C             G
If I had my way I would just have you ‘round

If I had my way I would just have you ‘round
