(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
