Giving Up The Gun

	  		


Intro:  Em   C2   G2   D   


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 



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 


Extro: Em   C2   G   D2
