Fall back, take a look at me and you’ll see
B C#m
I’m for real, I’ll feel what only I can feel and if that don’t appeal to ya
A

I’m not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
B C#m
It’s not as simple here we go not so soon, I might have fallen for that

When I was 14 and a little more green
E
But it’s amazing what a couple of years can mean
E B
Ohhhhhhh
C#m
Yeah yeah
A
Yeah yeah yeah

A E
But you’ll never see inside, until you realize

Just trying to figure out

Exactly what I’m about
A
If it’s with or without you, I don’t need your doubt in me
