Bm6 B4 F# F#4 F#
verse 1
B B2
I didn't mean to give my soul away
Bm7 E9/B E/B Em7/B Em9/B
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
Em7/B B Bm6 B4
And I need to let you know I was wrong
F# F#4 F#
It's a sham
B B2
They stole my heart and took control away
Bm7 E9/B E/B Em7/B Em9/B
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
Em7/B B
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
Bm6 B4 F# F#4 F#
But they don't give a damn
G Bm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
G Bm
You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
G Bm
They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
E
Then sit back and watch you burn
G Bm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
G Bm
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
G Bm
When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
E
They'll just smile and watch you burn
verse 2
B B2
You can't believe a single word they say
Bm7 E9 E/B Em7/B Em9/B
You tried to have the life that everybody wants
Em7/B B Bm6
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
B4 F# F#4 F#
It's a scam
B B2
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
Bm7 E9/B E/B Em7/B Em9/B
And you become the one that everybody talks
Em7/B B
By then there's no way out
Bm6 B4 F#
It's all part of the plan
G Bm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)

You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)

They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
E
Then sit back and watch you burn
G Bm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
G Bm
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)

When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
E F#
They'll just smile and watch you burn
