Brandi Carlile
Looking Out
Give up the Ghost

Standard tuning, no capo

C majorC
I went out looking for the answers and never left my town.
          D MajorD
I’m no good at understanding, but I’m good at standing ground.
 E minorEm
And when I asked a corner preacher I couldn’t hear him for my
D MajorD
youth. Some people get religion some people get the truth. I
        G+G
never get the truth, I never get the truth.

Chorus:
G+G
I know the darkness falls on you. And it’s just a point of view
              C majorC
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when
           A minorAm
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
          G+G
heart can break in two, someone loves you.

C majorC
I lay this suitcase on my chest so I can feel somebody’s weight.
         D MajorD
And I lay you to rest just to feel a give and take?
C majorC
I got a new interpretation and it’s a better point of view, you
          D MajorD
were looking for a landslide I was looking out for you, I was
         G+G
looking out for you, someone’s looking out for you

Chorus:
G+G
I know the darkness falls on you. And it’s just a point of view
              C majorC
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when
           A minorAm
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
          G+G
heart can break in two, someone loves you.

Bridge
E minorEm (strum)
I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind.

A minorAm
afraid of inquiring minds. Afraid of being left behind.

C majorC
I close my eyes I think of you, I take a step I think of you,
                D MajorD
I catch my breath I think of you, I cannot rest I think of you

Last Chorus
C majorC
My one and only wrecking ball, and you’re cutting through my
E minorEm
walls. When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and
             A minorAm
when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like
             G+G
your heart could break in two, someone loves you.
