[Verse 1]
EmBm7
Build on rock, or build on sand
BC
They're never gonna lend a hand
GBm7
So nothing grows or nothing stands
AmAm7B
I can't take anymore, I can't take anymore
EmBm7
'Cause there's not a lot of space for me
BC
But I've still got my dignity
GBm7
I've got my price, don't say I'm free
AmAm7B
I can't take anymore, I can't take anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
CEm7Em
But I'm hungry, I could eat anything
CG
But I'm hungry, ooh, let's dance, ooh, let's swing
CEm
And all that I hear are the words that she sings
AmB
Now they've taken it all, now they've taken it all
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
EmBm7
I'd rather take this cure for life
BC
Than make myself a sacrifice
GBm7
When living is to pay the price
AmAm7B
I can't take anymore, I can't take anymore
EmBm7
It takes a while to understand
BC
When your eyes are full of sand
GBm7
When only time is in your hands
AmAm7B
I can't take anymore, I can't take anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
