[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
                    D
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

[Chorus]
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

[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 could learn from this
              D
What did I learn from this?

[Pre-Chorus]
         C
All this time, keepin' it in
                    D
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
C                 D
I will follow the Sun
                 Em
And find my way home
                  G
I'm gonna go it alone
                C
And maybe this time I'll find
      B7
Some peace of mind

[Chorus]
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
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
