Dm                         Am
I'm gonna dry all my tears today
        F                          Am
Got no patience for pain, tell my friends
to shade the sad parade
Dm                          Am
I'm gonna lift up and float away
           F                                Am
It's been far too long, I wait in vain for better
days than pouring rain
Dm                           Am
I'm gonna stand up and drag these chains
           F
I've been held in place with wire and lace and
 Am
waltzed around the drain

Dm
When you've got no time
Am
You're gonna want it back
F
You're gonna act so bad
Am                     Dm
You're gonna act so badly

Chorus:
Dm
I wanna love you back so bad
Am
I wanna love you back so bad
F
I wanna love you back so bad
Am
You're everyone I never had
Dm
I wanna love you back so bad
Am
I wanna love you back so bad
F
I wanna love you back so bad
Am
You're everyone I never had

I’m gonna cut out and waste the day
Dump some diamonds in the lake
Truly appreciate my luck can change
I’m gonna strip off your whitewash stain
It’s a thin disguise that barely hides
Your painted face that falls away

I’m gonna dry all my tears today
I’ve been held in place with wire and lace
And waltzed around the drain

When you’ve got no time
You’re gonna want it back
You’re gonna want it badly
When you feel this light
When you feel this happy
You’re gonna act so bad
You’re gonna act so badly

Chorus:
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You’re everyone I never had
