[Verse 1]
C#m        C#sus2 C#m  C#sus2  E   Esus2   E     Esus2
 We've got one chance to break out and we need it now
          E/B      E     E/B   E    Asus2
Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting sick of this fucking apartment
C#m        C#sus2      C#m  C#sus2               E                Esus2     E            Esus2
Love me or leave me or rip me apart, this is the voice that I was given and if you don't like it
       E/B        E          E/B      E                Asus2
Take a long walk, off of the shortest pier you can find and I'll be singing it out I'll be singing

[Chorus]
A                G#m
 Oh, Mr. Magazine I never wrote one single thing for you
A                             E/G#
 Or your so-called music scene, you don't mean a thing to me
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
C#m                  B   A
 Pick it up, pick it up

[Verse 2]
N.C.                       E    Esus2   E       Esus2
When they review the debut, what if the critics hate you?
E/B      E              E/B         E         Asus2
 Don't worry cause they might just catch somebody off their feet
              C#m        C#sus2      C#m  C#sus2         E                Esus2          E             Esus2
Well they can love it or leave it or rip it apart, we're living while we're singing so I guess that's a step
       E/B      E       E/B           E             Asus2
In the right direction, glare of composition in the honesty, honesty

[Chorus]
A                G#m
 Oh, Mr. Magazine I never wrote one single thing for you
A                             E/G#
 Or your so-called music scene, you don't mean a thing to me
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
C#m                  B
 Pick it up, pick it up

[Bridge]
C#m          A              B
So save your breath and the money you spent
   C#m     A           B
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
C#m   A          B       C#m    A       B                A
 Just don't take chances on anything at all, anything at all

E/G#          A             B
 So afraid of anything that may not come that easy
E/G#           A                 B
 Too afraid of anything that you may not have seen before
E/G#          A             B
 So afraid of anything that may not come that easy
E/G#           A             B
 Too afraid of anything that may not

[Chorus]
N.C.
Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
N.C.                B
Pick it up, pick it up
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and you need it to
C#m      A                         B
 Pick it up, pick it up, and won't you want it
C#m                  B
 Pick it up, pick it up

[Outro]
C#m          A              B
So save your breath and the money you spent
   C#m     A           B
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
C#m   A          B       C#m    A       B                A
 Just don't take chances on anything at all, anything at all
C#m   A        B
   Anything at all
   C#m     A           B
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
C#m   A          B       C#m    A       B                A
 Just don't take chances on anything at all, anything at all
