INTRO 
 
E 
 
VERSE
 
E 
You have a way with words 
                    A 
Your silence is a curse 
A 
You always seem to break me down, down, down 
E 
My swollen heart you curve 
E                      A 
Your comfort makes it worse 
A 
I don’t want you around round, round, round 
 
CHORUS
 
     E 
Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his word? 
    C#m                     A 
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt? 
 
E 
It’s time to take my own 
 A 
Take my own advice, take my own advice 
E 
Need me to take my own 
A 
Take my own advice 
 
VERSE
 
E 
I almost lost my mind 
E                 A 
I left myself behind 
A 
I almost crashed and fell right from the sky 
E 
I took a chance on this 
E               A 
I took too big a risk 
A 
And now I’m left with pain to get me high 
 
CHORUS
     E 
Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his word? 
    C#m                     A 
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt? 
E 
It’s time to take my own 
 A 
Take my own advice, take my own advice 
E 
Need me to take my own 
A 
Take my own advice 
 
BRIDGE
 
C#m           E          A 
You had to break me, take me 
   B          E 
To make me better 
E                     A 
But I had to save me, baby 
 A 
Now or never 
 
CHORUS
 
     E 
Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his word? 
    C#m                     A 
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt? 
 
E 
It’s time to take my own 
 A 
Take my own advice, take my own advice 
E 
Need me to take my own 
A 
Take my own advice....
