Intro

Em C G A

Verse

Em C G Wake me from my sleep, a cautionary tale A Em Walk in infancy, a way to derail C G I wanted to be free and I wanted only you A The walls are falling down Cmaj7 G/B Am And somebody says, "Ah give a little love Em Give a little love, but take your time" Cmaj7 G/B Am Somebody says, "Yes, give a little love b Give a little love, but take your time"

Chorus

Verse 2

Em C Check before rising G Check before we work A A childproof the scene Em No screams can be heard C The roof is caving in G And the space between our hearts A The walls are falling down Cmaj7 G/B Am And somebody says, "Ah give a little love Em Give a little love, but take your time" Cmaj7 G/B Am Somebody says, "Yes, give a little love b Give a little love, but take your time"

Chorus 2

Em It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race Em It's a rat, it's a rat race Em It's a rat, it's a rat, it's a rat race Em It's a rat race Em C G Ah, life living in a rat race A Now come on Em C g Life are you living in a rat race? A Em C'mon, here inside yourself

Chorus 3

Em A private life, well come on now C G I said, "Livin' gets to be just like a rat race, rat race" A Em So come on, I'm-a-read between the lines C Fierce struggler, a natural one a tough job G Gets to be just like a rat race, rat race A Em So come on, I'm a locked up in myself Em A private life, well come on now C G I said, "Livin' gets to be just like a rat race, rat race" A Em So come on, I'm-a-read between the lines C Fierce struggler, a natural one a tough job G Gets to be just like a rat race, rat race A Em So come on, I'm a locked up in myself Em I'ma locked up in myself I'ma locked up in myself
