Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Am Well it started as a game E using pleasure using pain GD We got higher and higher that way F But it didn't work today Am Even though it felt so right E Nothing's permanent in life GD so it's useless to hold on so tight
F You've gotta give it up give it up give it up Am Ohhh give it up give it up ED Ohhh give it up give it up you lost control
cause nothing stands around too long
Am so now everything has changed E and your heart's been rearranged GD until nothing we've known here remains F and you say you shouldn't stay Am as you're taking off your clothes E you think it's loving I suppose GD it's just you endlessly needing control
F Well you've gotta give it up give it up give it up Am Ohhh give it up give it up ED Ohhh give it up give it up you lost control
cause nothing stands around too long
FAm cause nothing stands around too long E nothing stands around too long D you lost control
