Palm-muting is recommended in the outro.
[Chorus]
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, hey, hey
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, hey, hey
[Verse]
F
Love hurts
C
Now you're the girl who's left with no words
F
Your heart's a balloon, but then it bursts
C
It doesn't take a cannon, just a pin
C
Your skin's not covering
F
And resistance
C
Love has got to fight for its existence
F
The enemy has armies for assistance
C
The amorist, the glamorous, the kiss
C
A fist, listen to this, oh
[Chorus]
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
[Post-Chorus]
F C
I could sing it to you all night, all night
G C
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
F C
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
G N.C.
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
[Verse]
F
Fight back
C
Don't take it lyin' down, you got to bite back
F
The face of liberty's starting to crack
C
She had a plan up until she got smacked in the mouth
C
And it all went south
F
Like freedom
C
The slaves are lookin' for someone to lead them
F
The master's lookin' for someone to need him
C
The promised land is there for those who need it most
C
And Lincoln's ghost said...
[Chorus]
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
Em7 G
Get out of your own way, oh, I
[Post-Chorus]
F C
I could sing it to you all night, all night
G C
If I could, I'd make it alright, alright
F C
Nothing's stopping you except what's inside
G N.C.
I can help you, but it's your fight, your fight
[Chorus]
Em7 G
Get out of your own way
Em7 G
Get out of your own way
[Instrumental Bridge]
F G Am
F G Am
[Chorus]
Em7 F G Am
Get out of your own way
Em7 F G Am
Get out of your own way
Em7 F G Am
Get out of your own way
[Outro]
Am
Blessed are the arrogant
C
For there is the kingdom of their own company
Am
Blessed are the superstars
C
For the magnificence in their light
G
We understand better our own insignificance
Am
Blessed are the filthy rich
C
For you can only truly own what you give away
G
Like your pain
