Fm     Bb
I give up
Gm     Cm
I give up
Fm           Bb
I tried real hard
               Gm   C
But now I give up

Fm      Bb
Now the sweats
Gm             Cm
Run down to my sock
Fm      Bb
Nothing left
                 Gm   C
But a box in the ground

Fm       Bb
No one's immune to burglary
Gm                Cm
When you stole my heart
Fm    Bb        Gm   C
I was drawn at first

Fm         Bb
But then I realized
      Gm       Cm
I was dying of thirst
Fm     Bb         Gm   C
In the desert of love

Fm     Bb
Like a trooper
            Gm    Cm
Who's super duper patient
Fm       Bb
I waited until
                                     Gm   C
Everything is dried up in my wishing well

Fm            Bb
And it's been hell
Gm         Cm
Believe me that
Fm              Bb
A farmer in the tale
            Gm   C
played by a bat

Fm                  Bb
And your mysterious smile
   Gm         Cm
Magnificently recreated
Fm    Bb
In my mind
               Gm   C
For quite some time

Fm         Bb
And I hung on
Gm           Cm
Hoping for a miracle
     Fm
Or a medal
    Bb            Gm   C
For my emotional bravery

Fm             Bb
Just like Davy Crockett
       Gm   Cm
At the Alamo
Fm               Bb
When that bullet hit him
                  Gm   C
He knew he had to go

Fm        Bb
So I give up
Gm     Cm
I give up
Fm           Bb
I tried real hard
               A
But now I give up
