[Verse 1]
[D]The[C]re[G][Gm][D][C][G]
[A]was a tim[D]e in my life
[C]when all[G] of my absurdity
[Gm]Was [D]a part of [C]life's necessity[G]
[A]I played a n[D]ew game every day
[C]A cha[G]nge of rules in every way
[Gm]Not [D]thinking abo[C]ut
what it could [G]do to me
[A]I never tho[D]ught that I was doing wro[C]ng
You [G]stepped on [Gm]in
[D]Made [C]me feel like I was [G]getting high
[A]Taking a [D]trip over the moon
[C]To [G]the other sid[Gm]e
Lov[D]ing you is gonna [F]be wrong

[C]step in my [G]walk
I'm marching for your [A]love, baby
I [D]heard the [C]wind up in the trees
[G]In the trees, y 'all, in the [Bb]trees, y 'all

[G]around the world [Bb]twice[Dm]
[D]Never [C]mind the possib[G]ilities
[A]You could have bee[D]n in
love with [C]anyone
You [G]had to be [Gm]strong
[D]To put up wit[C]h this shit you dealing[G] with
[A]Now I know how[D] it can be[C]
[G]With you by my [Bb]side[Gm]
[Dm]It ain't gonna s[F]top me now
