[Verse 1]
C Csus2 Cadd6 Bsus2
I didn't mean to give my soul away
Cm7 Cm7 F9/C F/C Fm7/C Fm9/C
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
Fm7/C C C6add9 Cm6 Bsus4
And I need to let you know I was wrong
G Gsus4 G
It's a sham
C Csus2 Cadd6 Bsus2
They stole my heart and took control away
Cm7 Cm7 F9/C F/C Fm7/C Fm9/C
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
Fm7/C C
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
C6add9 Cm6 Bsus4 G Gsus4 G
But they don't give a damn
[Chorus]
G# Cm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
G# Cm
You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
G# Cm
They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
F
Then sit back and watch you burn
G# Cm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
G# Cm
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
G# Cm
When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
F
They'll just smile and watch you burn

Fm7/C C C6add9 Bm6
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
Csus4 G Gsus4 G
It's a scam
C Csus2 Cadd6 Bsus2
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
Cm7 Cm7 F9/C F/C Fm7/C Fm9/C
And you become the one that everybody talks
Fm7/C C
By then there's no way out
C6add9 Cm6 Bsus4 G
It's all part of the plan
[Chorus]

They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)

Then sit back and watch you burn

When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)

They'll just smile and watch you burn
