[Intro 1]
I need time (time)
Love (love), joy (joy)
I need space (love)
I need me [Am](action!)

[Verse 1]
Say hel[Dm]lo to the g[E]irl that I a[Am]m
You're going to have to [Dm]see

God, I need some answers
[Dm]What am I to do wi[E]th my life[Am]?
(You will find it out don't [Dm]worry)
How am I sup[E]posed to know what's [Am]right?

has been so [Dm]over-[E] protected[Am]

[Verse 2]
I'll tell them what I [Dm]like,
what I [E]want, what I [Am]don't
But every time I [Dm]do I st[E]and correcte[Am]d
