The Gift

	  		Intro:  G C G C Am Em D G (played over do do do...) 

G 
Darling don't you understand I feel so ill at ease 
    C 
The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe. 
G 
Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free 
C                                            Am     Em   D 
Take this overcoat of shame, it never did belong to me. 
                G 
It never did belong to me.   

G 
I need to go outside, I need to leave the smoke, 
      C 
Cause I can't go on living in this same sick joke. 
G 
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist 
C                                           Am Em D 
Now that you have given me the perfect gift 
                       G 
You have given me the gift. 
G                           Bb 
For we have fallen from our shelves. 
F                            G 
To face the truth about our selves. 
G                            Bb    F                  G     
And we have tumbled from our trees.  Tumbled from our trees. 
                 C                                   G 
And I can almost...I can almost hear the rain falling. 
G                            C 
Don't you know it feels so good.  It feels so good. 
Am                            Em D 
So let's go out into the rain again. 
                              G 
Just like we said we always would. 

End  D F E Am D G   

Hope you like the song as much as I do.  Rory Strentz
