VERSE 1:
E C#m E A
I was born as a free man
E C#m E A
And now I’m tied to the mast
E C#m E
Like the strings of an old guitar
A E B
Bent out of tune too far
(Same chord structure as above + lead below)
Now as your temperature rises
As I baulk on the flames
As I come to devices
I hear the words that you say
The lead starts in the second part of the verse:
Repeat this (the picking varies a bit)
e|-----7--------9---------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------9--------9-------------------------------------------------------|
G|--9------9--------9-----------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
CHORUS:
E C#m G#m
Give it up, give it up, give it up
A E B
Oh, give it up
E C#m G#m
Are you trying to say this world's
A E B
not beautiful enough?
E F#
Outside line to a collect call
B
Oh you say it's easy
You do it just to tease me I know
VERSE 2:
(Same chords as VERSE 1)
Now I'm the ghost of a thousand
Now I'm a million years
I've been the slave to the old song
That's ringing in your ear
E F#
Direct line to all you girls and boys
B
You say that love will free me
You say it just to see me give up
CHORUS:
E C#m G#m
Give it up, give it up, give it up
A E B
Oh, give it up
E C#m G#m
Are you trying to say this world's
A E B
not beautiful enough?
A E
What’s it like on the moral high ground?
A E
Judging by your face well I'm glad I never asked
A B
Step outside the bar and kick seven shades of shit out of you
BRIDGE:
Repeat the intro lick with
E C#m E A
E C#m E A
E C#m G#m A E B
A B
Outside line to, to all you girls and boys
CHORUS:
E C#m G#m
Give it up, give it up, give it up
A E B
Oh, give it up
E C#m G#m
Are you trying to say this world's
A E B
not beautiful enough?
