VERSE 3 (2:23)

                                   G
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

         D
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

             Em
But my breath fogged up the glass

                C
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

 

  G
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason

     D
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

      Em
It's what we aim to do

       C
Our name is our virtue

It cannot wait, I'm yours

G                                  
Well, open up your mind and see like me (I won't hesitate)

D
   Open up your plans and, damn, you're free (no more, no more)

Em
       And look into your heart, and you'll find (it cannot wait)

C
    That the sky is yours (I'm sure)

 

(3:13)

      G
So please don't, please don't, please don't (no need to complicate)

                    D
There's no need to complicate ('cus our time is short)

                    Em
'Cause our time is short (this is)

                                           C
This, oh this, this is our fate (our fate)

 

              A7
I'm yours


Bra-bop-mm, da-bap-bop-mm-day
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do, mm-mm-mm-mm (hey, hey)
Oh, I'm yours
