Vultures

F#m7(9)
Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to 
          E11/D
disappear

How do I stop myself from being just
 a number?

How will I hold my head to keep from
 going under?
A6(9)
Down to the wire
                         B5(9)
I wanted water, but I'll walk 
through the fire
                            A6(9)
If this is what it takes to take me 
even higher
Then I'll come through like I do 
B5(9)
when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing 
F#m7(9)
me

How did they find me here? What do 
they want from me?
Continues after the ad
All of these vultures hiding right 
                E11/D
outside my door

I hear them whispering, they're 
tryin' to ride it out

They've never gone this long without
 a kill before

Down to the wire
                         B5(9)
I wanted water, but I'll walk 
through the fire
                            A6(9)
If this is what it takes to take me 
even higher
Then I'll come through like I do 
B5(9)
when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up, I got to leave this 
evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures 
                E11/D
off of my trail

Power is made by power being taken

So I keep on running to protect my 
situation

Down to the wire
                         B5(9)
I wanted water, but I'll walk

                            A6(9)
If this is what it takes to take me 
even higher
Then I'll come through like I do 
B5(9)
when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing 
F#m7(9)
me
A6(9)    B5(9)
Ooooooh, ooooooh
F#m7(9)
What'cha gonna do about it?
F#m7(9)
Don't give up, give up, give up
