    Do It Anyway

::Intro::
D5  F5  D5  F5

::Verse::
D5                      F5
You might put your love and trust on the line
D5                                   F5
It's risky, people love to tear that down let 'em try
D5       F5
Do it anyway
D5       F5
Risk it anyway

::Verse::
D5                            F5
And if you're paralyzed by a voice in your head
D5                                        F5
It's the standing still that should be scaring you instead go on and
D5     F5
Do it anyway
D5     F5
Do it anyway

::Verse::
D5                            F5
There will be times you might leap before you look
D5                                  F5
There'll be times you'll like the cover and that's precisely why you'll love the book
D5     F5
Do it anyway
D5     F5
Do it anyway

::Chorus::
G5
Tell me what I said I'd never do
Bb5
Tell me what I said I'd never say
G5                                 Bb5                    C5
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like but now I think are ok

::Interlude::
D5  F5  D5  F5

::Verse::
D5                              F5
Sometimes it's not subjective: wrong and right
D5                                          F5
Deep down you know it's downright wrong but you're invincible tonight so you
D5       F5
Do it anyway            
D5                          F5
It's done                you did it

::Verse::
D5                               F5
Despite your grand attempts the chips are set to fall
D5                                    F5
And all the stories you might weave cannot negotiate them all
D5     F5
Do it anyway
D5            F5                    
Be honest, anyway

::Chorus::
G5
So tell me what I said I'd never do
Bb5
Tell me what I said I'd never say
G5                                  Bb5                  C5            D5
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like but now I think are OK

::Interlude::
( D5 )                   F5
(ok)  Yeah yeah yeah yeah
                C5
Woah woah woah woah

G5  Bb5   C5  D5

::Solo::
D5  F5  C5  G5  Bb5  C5 D5   

::Verse::
D5                    F5
It's gonna be so very hard to say
D5                                F5
And watch the trust and joy all drain from her innocent face But you must
D5     F5
Do it anyway
D5                            F5
It sucks but               Do it anyway


::Verse::
D5                        F5
Call it surrender but you know that that's a joke
D5                              F5
And the punchline is you were never actually in control but still
D5           F5
surrender anyway

::Chorus::
G5
Tell me what you said you'd never do
Bb5
Tell me what you said you'd never say
G5                                        Bb5
Read me off that list of things 'cause I used to not like you
      C5               D5
But now I think you're OK

::Interlude::
( D5 )
(ok)
                F5
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
                C5
Woah woah woah woah
G5                       Bb5                   D5
Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway

::Interlude::
D5  F5   C5

::Middle Eight::
G5
Do it anyway  Do it anyway
Bb5
Do it anyway  Do it anyway
G5
Do it anyway  Do it anyway
Bb5
Do it anyway  Do it anyway

::Collision-Outro::
G5
Cause you don't do nothing to avoid self punishment
Bb5
You won't do nothing  You won't feel nothing
G5
Gotta, Do it, do it, do it anyway
Bb5
Ah Do it anyway
        D5
Do it anyway
