Give Up

Am E In a little while, she will call you back F E7 And what you thought you had before, will fade to black Am E But still, she'll tell you things, to make you believe F E7 That this fucked up world, is yours to seize A7 So you seize every day Am E And each time you close your eyes to sleep F E7 You dream yourself an amputee Am E Each time you close your eyes to sleep F E7 You watch your core retreat Am E When she takes a breath, and her bosom grows F E7 And your blood flows hard, 'til you lose control Am E And it throbs and burns like a fever, that you can never cool F E7 You both play the game. But, she makes the rules E7 And she can break them, too Am E And each time you close your eyes to sleep F E7 You dream yourself an amputee Am E Each time you close your eyes to sleep F E7 You watch your core retreat Am E In a little while, she will bare her teeth F E7 And she'll crown your head with a thorny wreath A7 And she'll call it "grace." Am Then she'll bend you, she'll break you E She knows how to make you return every time F Cause she's put all her faith in you losing your mind 'til it's hers to manipulate E7 Realize, you're just the bait Am And give up! Dm Give up G C E7 'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose Am Give up (pretending you're okay) Dm Give up (searching for lives to save) G C E7 'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose (All of your roads are paved in tar, and there's not a star in your sky) Am Give up (She's breaking you down in her bile) Dm Give up (Confusing her fangs for a smile) G C 'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose (And she bites, and she chews, and she spits) E7 And you lose Am Give up Dm Give up G C 'Cause what you threw away wasn't yours to lose E7 Am Not yours to lose ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No capo version: Dm A In a little while, she will call you back Bb A7 And what you thought you had before, will fade to black Dm A But still, she'll tell you things, to make you believe Bb A7 That this fucked up world, is yours to seize A7 So you seize every day Dm A And each time you close your eyes to sleep Bb A7 You dream yourself an amputee Dm A Each time you close your eyes to sleep Bb A7 You watch your core retreat Dm A When she takes a breath, and her bosom grows Bb A7 And your blood flows hard, 'til you lose control Dm A And it throbs and burns like a fever, that you can never cool Bb A7 You both play the game.
