Lyrics

Magic Chords

You're talking too loud Won't you walk over? Whisper, motion hands or bat a lash You gotta see There's too many eyes You're walking too fast Why the hurry? Let me pace myself No need to run a lap You gotta lead You gotta lead You got to lose You got to lose You got to lose some time You got to lose You got to lose You got to lose some time Hear what I say When you waltz over, whistle And you try to have your way You got to see You felt the same You come in today With a hop in your step You kind of marvel at yourself You gotta breathe You gotta breathe You got to lose You got to lose You got to lose sometime You got to lose You got to lose You got to lose sometime Cowardice You felt it yourself You're telling lies You said too much You got nothing to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to lose this time You got nothing to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to lose this time You got nothing to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to lose
