[Verse 1]
G Gsus2 Gadd6 Bsus2
I didn't mean to give my soul away
Gm7 Gm7 C9/G C/G Cm7/G Cm9/G
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
Cm7/G G G6add9 Gm6 Bsus4
And I need to let you know I was wrong
D Dsus4 D
It's a sham
G Gsus2 Gadd6 Bsus2
They stole my heart and took control away
Gm7 Gm7 C9/G C/G Cm7/G Cm9/G
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
Cm7/G G
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
G6add9 Gm6 Bsus4 D Dsus4 D
But they don't give a damn
[Chorus]
D# Gm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
D# Gm
You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
D# Gm
They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
C
Then sit back and watch you burn
D# Gm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
D# Gm
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
D# Gm
When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
C
They'll just smile and watch you burn
[Verse 2]
G Gsus2 Gadd6 Bsus2
You can't believe a single word they say
Gm7 Gm7 C9 C/G Cm7/G Cm9/G
You tried to have the life that everybody wants
Cm7/G G G6add9 Bm6
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
Gsus4 D Dsus4 D
It's a scam
G Gsus2 Gadd6 Bsus2
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
Gm7 Gm7 C9/G C/G Cm7/G Cm9/G
And you become the one that everybody talks
Cm7/G G
By then there's no way out
G6add9 Gm6 Bsus4 D
It's all part of the plan
[Chorus]
D# Gm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
D# Gm
You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
D# Gm
They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
C
Then sit back and watch you burn
D# Gm
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
D# Gm
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
D# Gm
When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
C D
They'll just smile and watch you burn
