Intro
Cm A B (pinky notes e to eb on third string)
[Cm]I can't even think of [A]one good reason

Cause I [A]know there's something out there [C#m]waiting for me[B]
[A]And I swear[E]

Just w[C#m]ait and see[B]
[A]I don't care[E]
That you [A]call me crazy

There's nothing left to say[B]
Better sorry than s[A]afe[B]
[Cm]Sometimes I wish you c[A]heated on me
[B]Then leavin here would [A]be so easy
[Cm]It's time to take a ch[A]ance and gi[B]ve you up
[F#]In the morning I wake
[A]And make my escape
[B]I'm not scared[E]
Cause I [A]know there's something out there [C#m]waiting for me[B]
[A]And I swear[E]

[-----]The Chords in the first part sound good as 6th string bar chords. Except the E which
better as a 5th string A shapes chord.
When the key changes I use mostly 5th string A and Am shapes at the appropriate fret.
