F       C 
I don't believe the absolutes anymore

I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong

This life it sucks your principles away

Verse 
F          C 
It is like so many other things 
Gm         A# 
As distant as your former sins 
F          C 
So sad and lonely and so derelict 
Gm     A# 
As the optimism that we once shared

Bridge 
Gm                      Csus4        C 
I'll send you postcards every single day 
Gm                    Csus4  C 
Just to prove I still exist 
Gm                  Csus4     C 
This world will not impose its will

I will not give up and I will not give in 
C 
And I will not give up and I will not give in

I find the solo easier if you play it like this

Full key step up

Half key step up

Half key step down

Full key step down

are you left-handed?
