Nothing's permanent in life

You've gotta give it up give it up give it up
Am
Ohhh give it up give it up

Ohhh give it up give it up you lost control
cause nothing stands around too long
Am
so now everything has changed

and your heart's been rearranged
G D
until nothing we've known here remains
F
and you say you shouldn't stay
Am
as you're taking off your clothes

it's just you endlessly needing control
