Pay it Back        By Elvis C.

G
Stop thief; you're gonna come to grief
       C
if you don't take a little more care.
             G        Em7      C      G
You're gonna get more than the family plan
                  C        G
from this one shoestring affair.
Em      A                   C       G          F

  I may be crazy but I can't contemplate being trapped between the
doctor
       C      Bm
and the magistrate.

G
One of these days I'm gonna pay it back, pay it back,
C
one of these days.
G
One of these days I'm gonna pay it back, pay it back,
C
one of these days.

G
And then they told me I could be somebody
     C
if I didn't let too much get in my way.
      G        Em7          C    G
And I tried so hard just to be myself,
              C      G
but I keep on fading away.
         Em          A              C            G
Until the lights went out, I didn't know what to do.
           F                      C             Bm
If I could fool myself, then maybe I'd fool you too.

(chorus)

G
I wouldn't say that I was raised on romance.
C
Let's not get stuck in the past.
           G    Em7       C            G
I love you more than everything in the world.
               C         G
I don't expect that will last.
Em                           C      G
  They told me everything was guaranteed.
F                          C        Bm
 Somebody somewhere must've lied to me.

(chorus)
