[Verse 1]
E Esus2 Eadd6 Bsus2
I didn't mean to give my soul away
Em7 Em7 A9/E A/E Am7/E Am9/E
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
Am7/E E E6add9 Em6 Bsus4
And I need to let you know I was wrong
B Bsus4 B
It's a sham
E Esus2 Eadd6 Bsus2
They stole my heart and took control away
Em7 Em7 A9/E A/E Am7/E Am9/E
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
Am7/E E
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
E6add9 Em6 Bsus4 B Bsus4 B
But they don't give a damn
[Chorus]
C Em
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
C Em
You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
C Em
They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
A
Then sit back and watch you burn
C Em
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
C Em
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
C Em
When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
A
They'll just smile and watch you burn
[Verse 2]
E Esus2 Eadd6 Bsus2
You can't believe a single word they say
Em7 Em7 A9 A/E Am7/E Am9/E
You tried to have the life that everybody wants
Am7/E E E6add9 Bm6
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
Esus4 B Bsus4 B
It's a scam
E Esus2 Eadd6 Bsus2
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
Em7 Em7 A9/E A/E Am7/E Am9/E
And you become the one that everybody talks
Am7/E E
By then there's no way out
E6add9 Em6 Bsus4 B
It's all part of the plan
[Chorus]
C Em
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
C Em
You take your turn
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
C Em
They light that spark
(You can't fight it)
A
Then sit back and watch you burn
C Em
They lift you up
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
C Em
Give you your task
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
C Em
When your world goes dark
(You can't hide it)
A B
They'll just smile and watch you burn
