==============================================================
CAPO 1 / Transpose to (-3) for simpler version
==============================================================
`
`
==VERSE==
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, my hungry ghost of hopefulness
BmAF#mDF#mDF#mD
Giving up everything, not haunted by wanting this
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, the fortune I was saving
BmAF#mDF#mDF#mD
Giving up everything, I mercy-killed my craving
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, I've opened up my eyes for this
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, see the whole magnificent emptiness
`
`
==BRIDGE==
F#mD
Gave what I want for how it is,
F#mD
for the stone inside and the bitterness,
F#mD
for the sweetness at the core of it
Bm A F#m D (x2)
`
`
==VERSE==
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, the master plan, the scheming
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, my cursed search for meaning
BmAF#mD
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==
BmAF#mD
Giving up everything, the big to-do, the hullabaloo,
F#mD
the tug-of-war for some twisted truth.
F#mD
For the everlasting ache of it
F#mD
no longer slave, not chained to it
F#mD
no gate, no guard, no keeper,
F#mDF#mD
no guru, master, teacher
F#mD
See the slow-receding faces
Bm (stop)
dissolve to black, no traces.
