C                                                                    F  C  
I used to like the morning
                                                                        Em  Am  
I'd survived another night
                                                                                                             Em  Am  
I'd walk to breakfast through the garden
                                                                                                                  G  C  
See the flowers stretching in the sunlight
                                                                             F  C  
Now I wake up in the morning
                                                                                                                Em  Am  
And all the kindness is drained out of me
                                                                        Em  Am  
I spend hours just wincing
                                                                                                             G  F  
And trying to regain some sense of peace
                     C                                              D  
If only I could sustain my anger
Dm              C                                            G  
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
F                                         C                                              D  
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
Dm                                                                    C  
Shakes off the weight of my sins
                                          G              F  C  
And takes me to heaven
                                                                     F  C  
I stay up late every night
                                                                          Em  Am  
Out of some general protest
                                                                                                                  Em  Am  
But with no one to tell you to come to bed
                                                                     G  C  
It's not really a contest
                                          F  C  
Maybe you think
                                                                        Em  Am  
I'll learn from my mistake
                                                Em  Am  
But not this time
                                                                  G  F  
It's just gonna break me
                     C                                              D  
If only I could sustain my anger
Dm              C                                            G  
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
F                                         C                                              D  
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
Dm                                                                    C  
Shakes off the weight of my sins
                                          G              F  
And takes me to heaven
C                                                                            F  C  
And if I've lost you for good
                                                                                          Em  Am  
Could it have been any other way?
                                                                                             Em  Am  
Was the water filling up for years
                                                                                     G  C  
Or did I wreck it all in a day?
                                                        F  C  
I'm going to bed now
                                                                     Em  
I've sunk into my sorrows
                          Am                                                                            Em  
And it'll take three hundred million dollars
        Am                                            D  Dm  C  G  
To get me up tomorrow
D  Dm  C  G  
F                                                                 C  
I won't go down with this shit
                  Dm                                                         Am  
I will put my hands up and surrender
                             F                                                         C  
There will be no more flags above my door
                  G                                         Dm  
I have lost, and always will be
F  Am  F  C  G  
It was an expensive mistake
It was an expensive mistake

A                                                                                                 Am  
Let us take you back to where we came in
We were united, an undivided nation
D                                                         G  
We got divided, it was something inside us
                  A  
It was not us
                                                                                                Am  
We were so naive, we were just like animals
                                                                                                        D  
Told what to believe by the beasts who took control
                                  G                                                         A  
We wanted control too, but that was normal
Cause our life was one of survival
                  Am  
The decisions we've made, if you can call it deciding
                          D                                                                 G                                            A  
With your life on the line, it'd be social suicide to change your mind
So we got mad and we split the scene
                  Am  
Now we download all of our shit for free
                        D                                                    G                                                            A  
It's the new economy, we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash
DA     E  
                  G  
I give up x2
A                                                                                                    Am  
Let us take you back to where you came in
                                                                                                     D  
A man clinging to the cliff of revelation
                                                                        G  
So scared of what he would find, he started crying
                     A  
"it was not me"
Stopped at the borderline they took his disguise
        Am  
So he read a book that won a Pulitzer prize
        D  
It was about death
                          G  
It didn't help
                                        A  
He saw himself in it
He was disturbed at the conclusions it led to
Am  
But he couldn't say what because the author was dead too
                  D                                                                 G                                            A  
And so though he made fun of us, he has now become one of us

I give up x4

I give up

A  D/AE  D  
A                                                              D/A  
And you wake up trembling
                                                                                             E  
From a dream where I swam into the river
                                                                                  D  
I reach out and hold you in my arms
     E                                                            D  
I love you, I love you, I love you
