Giving Up Everything

	  		

 
 
VERSE:
 
Bm        A          F#m                 D 
Giving up everything, my hungry ghost of hopefulness 
Bm        A          F#m                 D         F#m   D  F#m  D 
Giving up everything, not haunted by wanting this 
Bm        A          F#m                 D 
Giving up everything, the fortune I was saving 
Bm        A          F#m                 D         F#m   D  F#m  D 
Giving up everything, I mercy-killed my craving 
Bm        A          F#m                 D 
Giving up everything, I've opened up my eyes for this 
Bm        A          F#m                       D          
Giving up everything, see the whole magnificent emptiness 

BRIDGE:
 
     F#m              D 
Gave what I want for how it is,  
         F#m                 D 
for the stone inside and the bitterness,  
        F#m               D            
for the sweetness at the core of it 

Bm   A   F#m   D (x2) 
 
 
VERSE:
 
Bm        A          F#m                 D 
Giving up everything, the master plan, the scheming 
Bm        A          F#m                 D 
Giving up everything, my cursed search for meaning 
Bm        A          F#m                          D 
Giving up everything, the compass and the map I was reading 
  F#m               D       F#m           D         Bm  (Break) 
The hinterlands I'm leaving,  I'm finally leaving behind 
 
 
OUTRO:
 
Bm        A          F#m                       D          
Giving up everything, the big to-do, the hullabaloo,  
    F#m                 D 
the tug-of-war for some twisted truth.  
     F#m              D 
For the everlasting ache of it  
     F#m              D 
no longer slave, not chained to it  
     F#m              D 
no gate, no guard, no keeper,  
     F#m              D       F#m   D 
no guru, master, teacher 
     F#m              D 
See the slow-receding faces  
Bm  (stop) 
dissolve to black, no traces.
