verse 1:
EC#mEA
I was born as a free man
EC#mEA
And now I m tied to the mast
EC#mE
Like the strings of an old guitar
AEB
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)
Chorus:
EC#mG#m
Give it up, give it up, give it up
AEB
Oh, give it up
EC#mG#m
Are you trying to say this world's
AEB
not beautiful enough?
EF#
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
EF#
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:
EC#mG#m
Give it up, give it up, give it up
AEB
Oh, give it up
EC#mG#m
Are you trying to say this world's
AEB
not beautiful enough?
AE
What s it like on the moral high ground?
AE
Judging by your face well I'm glad I never asked
AB
Step outside the bar and kick seven shades of shit out of you
Bridge:

EC#mEAEC#mEAEC#mG#mAEBAB
Outside line to, to all you girls and boys
Chorus:
EC#mG#m
Give it up, give it up, give it up

Oh, give it up
EC#mG#m
Are you trying to say this world's

not beautiful enough?
