Rut

C                G6
(Don't give up on me
       C              F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
     C               Cadd9  
I'm climbing but the walls keep 
C/E   F      G
stacking up)

[Verse 1]
C     G6                          
        Can't keep my mind off of 
C                  F
every little wrong
C                  Cadd9 C/E   
I see the mouths are open, but I 
F
can't hear the song
C     G6                         
         I've done my best to 
        C                   
fill 'em, but the cracks are 
              F
starting to spread
C                  Cadd9 C/E   
Hey I won't blame you baby, go on 
F
turn your head

[Chorus]
 C                G6
But don't give up on me
        C              F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
    C               Cadd9  
I'm climbing but the walls keep 
C/E   F       G
stacking up

[Verse 2]
C     G6                          
          I can't keep pretending 
C                  F
this next stop isn't mine
Continues after the ad
C                  Cadd9 C/E   
The truth is on the table, someone's
F
 gotta sign
C     G6                  
           I've done my best 
               C              
defending, but the punches are 
                   F
starting to land
C                  Cadd9 C/E   
I'm sliding into something you 
F              Gsus4
won't understand

[Chorus]
 C                G6
Don't give up on me
       C              F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
     C               Cadd9  
I'm climbing but the walls keep 
C/E   F      G
stacking up

     C                G6
But don't give up on me
        C              F
'Cause I'm just in a rut
      C               Cadd9  
I'm climbing but the walls keep 
C/E   F      G
stacking up

[Bridge]
   F                      G
So I'm handing you a memory
  Am7               C
I hope you understand
   F               G       Am7   
That steadily reminds you of who 
         C
I really am

    F              G              
This city's always breathing, I 
Am7              C
wish that it would die
    F                              
The kickbacks and the bachelors, 
  G
the fever for the velvet rope
    Am7
The money from my mother's men
    G
I'm not like her, you're not like 
them

      C                  G    
I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll 
                    Am7        
climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and
Fadd9
 I'll climb
      C                  G    
I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll 
                    Am7        
climb and I'll climb, I'll climb and
Fadd9
 I'll climb
      C                  F    
I'll climb and I'll climb, I'll 
                    G           
climb and I'll climb, I'll climb
Am7               G
 and I'll climb
