Intro:
| Em | C2 | G2 | D |
Verse 1:
Em C
You could have tried a little harder,
G
You could have been a little stronger;
D
Needed me more
Em C
With an ocean underneath me
G
Holding on to what tomorrow brings
D
But it's always a storm
Pre-Chorus:
C
All this time, keepin' it in
D2
Needed some kind of hope, but you couldn't begin
Em
To see this doubt wellin' up in my eyes
D
Getting harder to swallow this disguise
Chorus:
Em C
I've been losing a war
G
I just can't fight anymore
D
I'm givin' up the gun, givin' up the gun
Em
I'll live to love another day
C
Maybe someday you'll see
G
You made a martyr of me
D
I'm givin' up the gun, givin' up the gun
Em
I'll live to love another day
Instrumental:
| Em | C2 | G6 | D2 |
Verse 2:
Em
I hope
C
That I can brush it off
G
When I get up again
D
Turn in and get some rest
Em C
I feel so old enough to know
G
What I should learn from this
D
What did I learn from this?
Bridge:
C D2
I will follow the Son
Em
And find my way home
G6
I'm gonna go it alone
C2
And maybe this time I'll find
B
Some peace of mind
