             G
The more you take the less you feel

             A
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today

                   G        D       A5     Bm
You got to give it away

She doesn't care what it's worth

She's not wating on a saviour to come
She's at a bus-stop with the news of the world
And the sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone

Slipping away, slip slide
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away
She's living next week now
You know she's going t opay it back somehow
    
    G
She hasn't been to bed in a week

          A       
She'll be dead soon, then she'll sleep

                   G        D       A5     Bm
You got to give it away

You got to give it away

A5
She already knows it hurts        
                                         Em
She's living like it's the last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night on earth
