The rest of the song follows a similar pattern, although there is some variation. Listen to 
the recording to get a feel for when you need to change chords. 

The Am/G in the chorus is optional but it adds depth to the chord progression.

[Intro]
Am                      Em
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah
Am                      Em
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah


[Verse 1]
Am                                     Em
Trying to change your mind is like the weather
    Am                                    Em
And you don't make my heart beat like you used to
F
I've been waiting for a sign
Dm            Em
You've been saving all your lines
Am                               Em
We could save each other for the better
    Am                              Em
And when you say my name, I'll be a memory
F 
This is more than we had planned
Dm        Em
Choices taken from our hands
Dm       Em                      F
Finally, there's space to stand alone


[Chorus]
             F      G
My mind is a runaway
                Em          Am
And I find it's too hard to breathe
     Am/G         F          G
Just say what you want to say
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
  Am/G       F          G
I feel these growing pains
             Em      Am
Have made us far too strong
      Am/G          F             G
We'll change if you want to change
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?


[Verse 2]
Am                                    Em
You could lose yourself and search forever
Am                                 Em
Looking for the person that you'll never be
F 
We've been trying to compensate
Dm            Em
Time to learn from our mistakes
Am                             Em
Maybe one day we'll fit back together
Am                                Em
I'll pick up the pieces and we'll rearrange
F 
Now we need to follow fate
Dm          Em
Now we look the other way
Dm         Em                       F
Now we find  the strength to stand alone


[Chorus]
             F      G
My mind is a runaway
                Em          Am
And I find it's too hard to breathe
     Am/G         F          G
Just say what you want to say
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
  Am/G       F          G
I feel these growing pains
             Em      Am
Have made us far too strong
      Am/G          F             G
We'll change if you want to change
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?


[Bridge]
G          C             Em        F
We've been changing into something more
  G      C             Em    F
Familiar faces turning into stone
      G       Am                 Em       F
These growing pains have made us far too strong
         F                   
We move along, we move along


[Half Chorus] (single strums, play softly)
F G             Em          Am
    I find it's too hard to breathe
                      F          G
    Just say what you want to say
                   Em
    Are you there? Tell me, are you there?


[Chorus]
             F      G
My mind is a runaway
                Em          Am
And I find it's too hard to breathe
     Am/G         F          G
Just say what you want to say
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
  Am/G       F          G
I feel these growing pains
             Em      Am
Have made us far too strong
      Am/G          F             G
We'll change if you want to change
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?


[Chorus]
             F      G
My mind is a runaway
                Em          Am
And I find it's too hard to breathe
     Am/G         F          G
Just say what you want to say
               Em                  Am
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
  Am/G       F          G
I feel these growing pains
             Em      Am
Have made us far too strong
      Am/G          F             G
We'll change if you want to change
               Em                  Am  Am/G
Are you there? Tell me, are you there?
