I give up by Lynn Miles - from the album Unravel –capo on 3rd fret
Em D Em
I have drunk no well where the water was bitter and cold
Em D Em
I have numbed all my senses and cried for somebody to hold
C B7
I have lied to myself I have lived in regret
Em C
and I know that I ain't seen the end of it yet
G D G
but I know there's a light up ahead and it's waiting for me
Chorus:
G C
I give up
G
cut me down
D G
give me water give me love give me rest
C
I give up
G
cut me down
D
go ahead go ahead
G
I confess
I have wasted my time I have lost what I cherished the most
The house is on fire and the closets are filled with my ghost
I have lied to my self I have lived in the rain
and I know that it's bound to start pouring again
but I know that there's a light up ahead waiting for me
I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess
Em D
I wasted my time, I wasted my tears
G C
I ran until I thought the coast was clear
G D G
but it never was now I'll surrender my pain and my tears
I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess
