Biography:
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

Natalie Merchant - Giving Up Everything
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx5Iq0LTYw0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
`
`
This is a single from the new Natalie Merchant self titled album released May 9th,2014!
This song is a little strange, it doesn't actually have a chorus to speak of.
`
`
==============================================================
CAPO 1 / Transpose to (-3) for simpler version
==============================================================
`
`
==VERSE==
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, my hungry ghost of hopefulness
Bm A F#m D F#m D F#m D
Giving up everything, not haunted by wanting this
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the fortune I was saving
Bm A F#m D F#m D F#m D
Giving up everything, I mercy-killed my craving
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, I've opened up my eyes for this
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, see the whole magnificent emptiness
`
`
==BRIDGE==
F#m D
Gave what I want for how it is,
F#m D
for the stone inside and the bitterness,
F#m D
for the sweetness at the core of it
Bm A F#m D (x2)
`
`
==VERSE==
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the master plan, the scheming
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, my cursed search for meaning
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the compass and the map I was reading
F#m D F#m D Bm (Break)
The hinterlands I'm leaving, I'm finally leaving behind
`
`
==OUTRO==
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the big to-do, the hullabaloo,
F#m D
the tug-of-war for some twisted truth.
F#m D
For the everlasting ache of it
F#m D
no longer slave, not chained to it
F#m D
no gate, no guard, no keeper,
F#m D F#m D
no guru, master, teacher
F#m D
See the slow-receding faces
Bm (stop)
dissolve to black, no traces.
