Em                     D                       Em
I have drunk no well where the water was bitter and cold
        Em                      D                      Em
I have numbed all my senses and cried for somebody to hold
                C                       B7
I have lied to myself I have lived in regret
        Em                              C
and I know that I ain't seen the end of it yet
        G                       D                      G
but I know there's a light up ahead and it's waiting for me

Chorus:
G       C
I give up
        G
cut me down
        D                          G
give me water give me love give me rest
        C
I give up
        G
cut me down
        D
go ahead go ahead
        G
I confess

I have wasted my time I have lost what I cherished the most

The house is on fire and the closets are filled with my ghost

I have lied to my self I have lived in the rain

and I know that it's bound to start pouring again

but I know that there's a light up ahead waiting for me

I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess

        Em                      D
I wasted my time, I wasted my tears
        G                               C
I ran until I thought the coast was clear
        G               D                     G
but it never was now I'll surrender my pain and my tears

I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess
