Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

E + bass run

Verse 1

Your house, the coffee tastes like dirt.

 Not because I’m hurt, no. That’s just what it tastes like.

Dirt roads remind me of my skin.

 Not because I’m wasting away with the gravel you ground in.

 That’s what it feels like.

I won’t be sorry, won’t go moping around. In fact I’m doing quite well for

now.

Chorus

There’s something ‘bout giving up, that sounds so bittersweet.

 Think I’ll throw in the towel right now.

 I’ll lay low on the ground, and I’ll be on my feet,

 when I can breathe. When I’m good and ready.

E + bass run

Verse 2

This tree, with lover’s heart engraved.

 Not because I’m lonely. Just because I hate it.

Sunshine digs underneath my nails.

 Not because I’m burning all my hopes,

 scorching all my faith as far as I can tell.

I’m not bitter. I’m not mouthing off words.

 Look at my face, believe me now.

Chorus

There’s something ‘bout giving up, that sounds so bittersweet.

 Think I’ll throw in the towel right now.

 I’ll lay low on the ground, and I’ll be on my feet,

 when I can breathe. When I’m good and ready.

 ***[ ? ? ? ? ? ? ?]***

Chorus

There’s something ‘bout giving up, that sounds so bittersweet.

 Think I’ll throw in the towel right now.

 I’ll lay low on the ground, and I’ll be on my feet,

 when I can breathe. When I’m good and ready.

 When I can breathe. When I’m good and ready.

YEE-HAW!
