[Verse 1]
B        Bsus2           Badd6    Bsus2
I didn't mean to give my soul away
Bm7        Bm7        E9/B  E/B   Em7/B Em9/B
To have the life I thought that everybody wants
         Em7/B         B          B6add9  Bm6  Bsus4
And I need to let you know I was wrong
        F# F#sus4 F#
It's a sham
B         Bsus2               Badd6    Bsus2
They stole my heart and took control away
Bm7       Bm7   E9/B  E/B      Em7/B  Em9/B
And when I lost the life that everybody wants
   Em7/B                           B
Well, you'd think they'd help you out
       B6add9 Bm6 Bsus4  F# F#sus4 F#
But they don't give a damn
 
 
[Chorus]
     G        Bm
They lift you up
 
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
     G        Bm
You take your turn
 
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
      G          Bm
They light that spark
 
(You can't fight it)
                   E
Then sit back and watch you burn
      G       Bm
They lift you up
 
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
      G        Bm
Give you your task
 
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
          G           Bm
When your world goes dark
 
(You can't hide it)
                        E
They'll just smile and watch you burn
 
 
[Verse 2]
B           Bsus2          Badd6    Bsus2
You can't believe a single word they say
Bm7            Bm7        E9  E/B  Em7/B  Em9/B
You tried to have the life that everybody wants
Em7/B                     B            B6add9 Bm6
Pretty soon you'll figure out that you don't
Bsus4    F# F#sus4 F#
It's a scam
B         Bsus2                  Badd6    Bsus2
You're torn apart, and then you're thrown away
Bm7            Bm7      E9/B  E/B  Em7/B  Em9/B
And you become the one that everybody talks
Em7/B                B
By then there's no way out
       B6add9 Bm6 Bsus4  F#
It's all part of the plan
 
 
[Chorus]
      G       Bm
They lift you up
 
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
      G       Bm
You take your turn
 
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
      G          Bm
They light that spark
 
(You can't fight it)
                   E
Then sit back and watch you burn
      G       Bm
They lift you up
 
(You might feel it, but don't believe it)
      G       Bm
Give you your task
 
(You'll see it, when you achieve it)
          G           Bm
When your world goes dark
 
(You can't hide it)
                         E              F#
They'll just smile and watch you burn

They light that spark

They'll just smile and watch you burn
