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!

C F
I used to like the mornings
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
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

no music

F Am F C
G
I give up x

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

D A D A E

G
I give up x

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 x

A D E D

A D
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
