^ ^ ^
(Strum on the off beats)
* I was a teen flat-liner on the joy screen
* Dead in the water of life as we knew
* You offered me drink, I wanted more than a sip
* But I couldn't let go of the straws I was clinging to
(+)Chorus:
E D
+Giving it over, giving it over
* I was flat on my back, I'd slid `til it hurt
+Giving it over, giving it over
* You put my head in the clouds and my feet in good dirt
* My head in the clouds and my feet in good
* Dirt
* Devils were crowding my head
* With lies they spread
* They'd convinced me of what fools know isn't true
* Quick as an Outkast rhyme you took me back in time
* Back to the first love I ever knew
+Giving it over, giving it over
* Got my broken heart healed and removed from its cast
+Giving it over, giving it over
* Yeah, I'm giving myself to a true love at last
* Giving myself to a true love at last
BRIDGE:
{2/4} {4/4}
B D B
You don't know where the wind's gonna blow
D
And since you can't take it with you
D B
better give it away before you go
D
Yeah, I'm giving it over
(Verses riff 4x)
* Greed is the word, it's a verb
* Wants to bind us all
* Bind us together like a platinum truss
+Giving it over, giving it over
* I'm putting my heart into treasures that don't rust
+Giving it over, Giving it over
* I'm giving it all to a face I can trust
BRIDGE

Giving it over, giving it over
