Adele: Chasing Pavements

I’ve made up my mind,

Don’t need to think it over

If I’m wrong, I am right

Don’t need to look no further,

This ain’t lust

I know this is love

 

But if I tell the world

I’ll never say enough

’cause it was not said to you

And that’s exactly what I need to do

If I end up with you

 

[Chorus:]

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?

Or would it be a waste

Even if I knew my place?

Should I leave it there?

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?

 

I build myself up

And fly around in circles

Waitin’ as my heart drops

And my back begins to tingle

Finally, could this be it

 

[Chorus:]

Or should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?

Or would it be a waste

Even if I knew my place?

Should I leave it there?

 

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?

 

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep on chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?

Or would it be a waste

Even if I knew my place?

Should I leave it there?

 

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep on chasin’ pavements?

Should I just keep on chasin’ pavements?

Ohh oh

 

[Chorus:]

should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?

Or would it be a waste

Even if I knew my place?

Should I leave it there?

 

should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasin’ pavements

Even if it leads nowhere?
