Intro

--- x2

Verse

Well now I found myself

Wish I was someone else

My hands are stained with love

Wish I could take it away

I hang behind the shell

In time the pain will melt

My heart is stained with love

Wish I could fake it

Chorus

I gave my life away

There’s nothing left to say

I gave my life away

You take it in your way ^(start verse picking here)

You take it in your way

Verse

My selfish enemy

Still has the best of me

Empty and feeling numb

Wish I could take it away

I can’t control the need

To weak to not concede

Wish I was deaf and dumb

Wish I could fake it

Chorus

I gave my life away

There’s nothing left to say

I gave my life away

You take it in your way x2 (continue chorus strumming ‘til verse)

Bridge

I can’t pretend we’re the same

  I can’t pretend we’re the same

  I can’t pretend we’re the same

Verse

Oh now I found myself

Wish I was someone else (start hard strumming)

My hands are stained with love

Wish I could FAKE

Chorus

I gave my life away

There’s nothing left to say

I gave my life away

then:

You take it in your way x2

You take it in your way [3x] You take it in your way
