[INTRO]  E + bass run

[VERSE 1]

E                                   C#m
Your house, the coffee tastes like dirt.
                A                             B      B7
Not because I?m hurt, no. That?s just what it tastes like.
E                          C#m
Dirt roads remind me of my skin.
                A
Not because I?m wasting away with the gravel you ground in.
               B       B7
That?s what it feels like.
C#m                                                   A
I won?t be sorry, won?t go moping around. In fact I?m doing quite well for

now.

[CHORUS]

E
There?s something ?bout giving up, that sounds so bittersweet.
           Abm                      C#m
Think I?ll throw in the towel right now.
             A
I?ll lay low on the ground, and I?ll be on my feet,
           B
when I can breathe. When I?m good and ready.

E + bass run

[VERSE 2]

E                             C#m
This tree, with lover?s heart engraved.
                A                      B    B7
Not because I?m lonely. Just because I hate it.
E                           C#m
Sunshine digs underneath my nails.
                A
Not because I?m burning all my hopes,
                                       B    B7
scorching all my faith as far as I can tell.
C#m
I?m not bitter. I?m not mouthing off words.
           A
Look at my face, believe me now.

[CHORUS]

E
There?s something ?bout giving up, that sounds so bittersweet.
           Abm                      C#m
Think I?ll throw in the towel right now.
             A
I?ll lay low on the ground, and I?ll be on my feet,
           B
when I can breathe. When I?m good and ready.

             A
I?ll lay low on the ground, and I?ll be on my feet,
           B
when I can breathe. When I?m good and ready.
           B                                  E
When I can breathe. When I?m good and ready.

YEE-HAW!
