Verso 1:
C                     Em    
Just talk yourself up and tear 
            Am          Am
yourself down.
C                         Em     
You've hit your one wall, now 
        Am          Am
find a way around.
C                         Em     
Well, what's the problem? You've 
             Am          Am
got a lot of nerve.

Pre-Chorus:
C
So, what did you think I would say?
Am                      Am
No, you can't run away, no, you 
can't run away.

never wanted to stay.
C                      Am
I put my faith in you, so much faith

C                 Em             
I'm not so naive, my sorry eyes 
   Am          Am
can see.
C                     Em     
the way you fight shy of almost 
        Am          Am
everything.
C                     Em         
Well, if you give up, you'll get

what you deserve.

Why don't you stand up, be a man 
about it?
