Bbm Db Bbm D F
Bb
They may take everything from you,
F
they may take your time to think things through.
F E Eb
They'll tell you everything that you want to hear,
Dm F
until you tell them that what they say is true.
Bb
That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
F
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
F E Eb
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
Dm F
that you think you sound just like your heroes.
Bb Bb7
But don't give them your soul,
D D7
don't give them your soul.
Eb
Don't give them your soul,
F Bb Ab Gm F
save that soul for me.
Bb
I've got those same five walls,
F
stare at the ceiling trying to transcend it all.
F E Eb
that's when your doubt creeps in, tells you to break your wings,
Dm F
tells you you need not try, because you're afraid to fall.
Bb
That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
F
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
F E Eb
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
Dm F
that you think you sound just like your heroes.
Bb Bb7
But don't give them your soul,
D D7
don't give them your soul.
Eb
Don't give them your soul,
F Bb Ab Gm F
save that soul for me.
I may hurt you,
F F E
darling I might leave you.
Eb F
I might absentmindedly mistreat you.

But at the end of it all,
F F E
and at the end of the day,
Eb
I only want one thing.
F Bb
I just want you to be you.
Bb7
Don't give them your soul,
D D7

save that soul for me.
