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
