Intro:  A  C#m  E  A


Verse 1:
A              C#m
I came up like everyone,
      E                 A
They taught us all the same.
   A                  C#m
I said what they told me to say,
      E                     A
And then, from that, they grade.


Verse 2:
 A            C#m
Give up repeating the facts;
     E               A
The fact could be arranged.
 A               C#m
Here I am, I'll take my chance,
      E                A
Now play the record straight.


Chorus 1:
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!


[Repeat Intro]


Verse 3:
 A                   C#m         
Talking points from talking heads
     E           A
With automated smiles.
  A                 C#m
There's no higher ground to stand
      E             A
Than bottom of the pile.

Verse 4:
 A             C#m
Give up acting unaware,
     E                 A
You can't ignore the crime.
    A        C#m
The enemy is you as well,
    E        A
The enemy is I.


Chorus 1:
            A
Give it up!

Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!


Bridge:
E                                   C#m
    Not in my name, you don't speak for me;
                                    B
    I am my voice, and I want to scream!
                                A
    You want my air, you want my life,
                                  E
    I act as one, but I'm not alone.


Chorus 2:
                    E
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
       C#m         E        A
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!


Chorus 1:
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!
            A
Give it up!
      C#m           E       A 
Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh!



[End with A]
