Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
C#m            E               A
  You couldn't break me in the end (Oh no)
C#m          E           A
  And such a freedom I enjoy
            A                    C#m
When you're deaf to the sounds you trust
            E                  A
If that was all you've got, my friend (Oh no)
C#m             E           D
   Then set yourself to disappoint
       E
(Yeah)


Interlude:
E  E  E  E


Verse 2:
C#m               E                     A
   Feels like I'm strapped down on this table (So tight)
C#m              E                  A
   You've got me stuck to a razor's edge
        A                     C#m
And I'm trapped in a deadbolt glove
             E               A
You stand to cut me you're unable (Oh no)
C#m           E                       A
   And such a streak starts steadying hands
      A                     F#m
And I live for the things I love

Pre-Chorus:
                    A
Sad, but maybe it's true
         A                F#m
Push you back's what I'll do

And it's just enough
   D
To keep you back one second longer


Chorus:
 A            E                   B
Take a little more than what I've got
           D
It's all I have to please you
A              E                 B
Break a little piece of what you want
              D
Bite back the hand that feeds you


Verse 3:
C#m         E                     A
   Remember when things seemed so stable (You know that)
C#m        E              A
   I compromised just to appease
          A                     C#m
Yeah, you take but you take too much
            E                  A           C#m
If what you need's not seeming able (Yeah, right)
           E               A
Then maybe it works when I leave
          A                     F#m
Yeah, you fake what you say you love


Pre-Chorus:
                    A
Sad, but maybe it's true
                          F#m
Push you back's what I'll do

And it's just enough
   D
To keep you back one second longer


Chorus:
 A            E                   B
Take a little more than what I've got
           D
It's all I have to please you
A              E                 B
Break a little piece of what you want
              D
Bite back the hand that feeds you

A             E                   B
Take a little more than what I've got
           D
It's all I have to please you
A              E                 B
Break a little piece of what you want
              D
Bite back the hand that feeds you


Bridge:
C#m
  Move faster
              D
I can't move enough
F#m
How much longer?
              D
Is this long enough?
F#m
   We can't be, and it won't
D
Even catch your attention
       E
And it pains me so to mention


Solo:
A  E  B  D
A  E  B  D


Pre-Chorus:
F#m                    A
   Sad, but maybe it's true
                          F#m
Push you back's what I'll do

And it's just enough
   D
To keep you back one second longer


Chorus:
A             E                   B
Take a little more than what I've got
           D
It's all I have to please you
A              E                 B
Break a little piece of what you want
              D
Bite back the hand that feeds you

A             E                   B
Take a little more than what I've got
           D
It's all I have to please you
A              E                 B
