| C#m | C#m | |
| From the | place that I stand to the land | that is openly free; |
| C#m | C#m | |
| Watching | rivers run black by the trees | that are vacant to greed. |
| PRE-CHORUS: |
| F#m | E | B | |
| Gotta give it | up |
| F#m | E | B | |
| gotta get a | second chance |
| F#m | E | B | |
| Gotta give it | up |
| E | B | |
| go | tta get a second chance and the tunes just started. |
| CHORUS: |
| F#m | E | B | |
| Gotta give it | up |
| F#m | E | B | |
| Give it up | give it up |
| F#m | E | B | |
| Gotta give it | up! |
| BRIDGE: |
| E | |
| Or tell me why | I'm so wrong |
| E | |
| where does l | ove come from |
| C#m | B | |
| If you've | sold your reasoning | out? |
| And so on. For the rest of the lyrics, see for instance |
