[C] [Am] [G] [F]
[C]So, if you want [Am]something, and you [G]call, call
[F]Then’ll come running, to [C]fight, and I’ll be at your [Am]door
When there’s [G]nothing worth [F]running for


When your [Am]mind’s made up, when your [G]mind’s made up
There’s [F]no point trying to change it, when your [Am]mind’s made up
When your [G]mind’s made up, there’s [F]no point trying to stop it


[C]You see, you’re just like [Am]everyone
When the [G]shit falls all you [F]want to do is run, away
[C]And hide all by [Am]yourself, when you’re [G]far from me, there’s [F]nothing else


When your [Am]mind’s made up, when your [G]mind’s made up
There’s [F]no point trying to change it, when your [Am]mind’s made up
When your [G]mind’s made up, there’s [F]no point even talking
When your [Am]mind’s made up, when your [G]mind’s made up
There’s [F]no point trying to fight it


[Am] [G] [F]
So, if you ever want something, and you call, call, then I’ll come running.
