Soul

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.

Bb
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
don't give them your soul.
                       Eb
Don't give them your soul,
F                  Bb
save that soul for me.
