  Verse 1
Em
You're being tempted by the same ol'
D                     Em 
You say it's under control
D                      Em
Just remind me how you see so clearly
D
Face down in a hole

  Pre-chorus
Em
Press toward the light
        G          D
And the light will ground you
Em
Go with the flow
        G         D
And the flow will drown you
Em       D                 Em
Hey now, there's always an out

  Chorus
Em
But if you get up, get up, get up
G             Em    D
You can break away 
Em       
And if you get out, get out, get out
G               C
Nothing can overtake
      D     Em
Don't wait, escape

  Verse 2
Em
We get beaten by the same sticks
D                 Em   
Until we start to crack
D                      Em
We get deceived by the same tricks
D
That's why the devil's bringing 'em back
 Em                D
(He's bringing 'em back)

  Chorus
Em
But if you get up, get up, get up
G             Em     D
You can break away 
Em       
And if you get out, get out, get out
G               C
Nothing can overtake
      D     Em
Don't wait, escape

Don't believe the hype
G
It's such a letdown

  Chorus
Em
But if you get up, get up, get up
G       Em     D
You can break away
Em       
And if you get out, get out, get out
G               C
Nothing can overtake
      D     Em
Don't wait, escape
