    Do It Anyway

::Intro::
Dm  F  Dm  F

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

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

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

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

::Interlude::
Dm  F  Dm  F

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

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

::Chorus::
Gm
So tell me what I said I'd never do
Bb
Tell me what I said I'd never say
Gm                                  Bb                  C            Dm
Read me off a list of the things I used to not like but now I think are OK

::Interlude::
( Dm )                   F
(ok)  Yeah yeah yeah yeah
                C
Woah woah woah woah

Gm  Bb   C  Dm

::Solo::
Dm  F  C  Gm  Bb  C Dm   

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


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

::Chorus::
Gm
Tell me what you said you'd never do
Bb
Tell me what you said you'd never say
Gm                                        Bb
Read me off that list of things 'cause I used to not like you
      C               Dm
But now I think you're OK

::Interlude::
( Dm )
(ok)
                F

                C
Woah woah woah woah
Gm                       Bb                   Dm
Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway

::Collision-Outro::

Cause you don't do nothing to avoid self punishment
Bb
You won't do nothing  You won't feel nothing
Gm
Gotta, Do it, do it, do it anyway
Bb
Ah Do it anyway
        Dm
Do it anyway
