Intro:  Em   C2   G2   D   


verse 1: 

Em                              C 
You could have tried a little harder, 
                                G 
You could have been a little stronger; 
           D 
Needed me more 
Em                  C 
With an ocean underneath me 
                     G 
Holding on to what tomorrow brings 
                 D 
But it's always a storm 


Pre-Chorus 

          C 
All this time, keepin' it in 
                     D2 
Needed some kind of hope, but you couldn't begin 
             Em 
To see this doubt wellin' up in my eyes 
                     D 
Getting harder to swallow this disguise 



Em                  C 
I've been losing a war 
                      G 
I just can't fight anymore 
                                      D 
I'm givin' up the gun, givin' up the gun 
                           Em 
I'll live to love another day 
                       C 
Maybe someday you'll see 
                     G 
You made a martyr of me 
                                      D 
I'm givin' up the gun, givin' up the gun 
                           Em 
I'll live to love another day
