G                                      Em
My mind's made up to pacing across the floor
            G                    D
no point in staying if we're not saying war
G
I don't mind hanging around
   Em            G                E9  E  E9 E                     
whatever now and what else can I do?
                   G  D   G D Em E9 E G
It's a question of you.
G
Thoughts careen till I can't stand up
Em                G                   D
where's the crime in a streak of bad luck?
G
words to pick at, retreat from
Em                G                      E9 E E9 E
words that fester if only to get at the truth  
                   G  D  G D Em  E9 E
It's a question of you.
G
What it all comes down to
     D
is a different set of values
   G                         E9 E E9 E
to throw away or mobilize to use - 
                   G 
It's a question of you.
G
No time to be singular
       Em              G              D
here's hoping that the feeling gets through
    G                                 Em
the sound of sound beginning leads to places
           G              E9  E  E9 E   
where reflections break anew - 
                   G D  G D Em E9 E 
It's a question of you.
G
What it all comes down to
     D
is a different set of values
G                            E9 E  E9 E
to throw away or mobilize to use - 
                   G
It's a question of you.
