E A/E H A H *2
 
E H A
Another ?winto of your discontent
E H A
I know how you scream and shout
when nothing you see makes senses
Invaluable excuses
drop like pearls in your self defence
You never do nothing about nothing, no
Where's all you confidence
 
E H
Why can't you reach for a closer dream
E
The reason you fail
A
Is you go to extremes
E
You don't have to lie
H
You gotta try
A
If you fall, you can call
But you don't have to crawl
 
E
You give up
H
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
A
You ain't got what it takes
H
No you ain't just enough
E
You give up
H
You're lazy when it starts to rock
A H
And when you see a way out, you go
A E
oh yeah
 
 
Another day goes by,
another tale to tell
How you nearly made it oh so far,
yeah you nearly did really well
 
Now why can't you reach for a closer dream
The people who care they don't mind where you've been
You don't have to lie
You gotta try
If you fall, you can fall
But you don't have to crawl
 
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't just enough
You give up
You're lazy when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
 
Guitar Solo
 
Well, it's another cold and lonely day
You got another tall tale to tell
How you nearly made it oh so far,
yeah you nearly did really well
But I know,
 
You give up
Hah, baby when it gets too rough
You ain't got what it takes
No you ain't just enough
You give up
You're lazy when it starts to rock
And when you see a way out, you go
Oh yeah
 
Synth Solo
 
Guitar Solo
 
Oh oh oh oh yeah
 
You Give up, oh yeah
you give up
