Verse:

Ab 

You lie in the grief,

                Bbm

You lie in the depression,

                   Db

You lied in your confession,

                         Ab

You knew me better than this,

Ab                                     Bbm

You lie by my side with your hand on a weapon,

                 Db

Waiting for a confession,

                         Ab

You knew me better than this.





Pre-chorus:

Fm            

We come from different towns,

Ab

And recognise the sound of giving up,

Fm

We come from different towns,

Eb

And recognise the sound of...





Chorus:

Ab

We’re giving up, we’re giving up,

            Bbm                            Db

But I won’t breathe another word about you,

                                   Eb

We’re giving up, we’re giving up, woah,



And I won’t sleep without you.



Break:

[Ab, Bbm, Db, Ab]





Verse:

Ab                               Bbm

You lie to yourself at your own intervention,

                          Db

And you’re too scared to mention,

                         Ab

That you’re better than this,

Ab                                         Bbm

And you lie by my side with your head on a weapon,

                      Db

And your eyes on the tension,

                         Ab

You knew me better than this.





Pre-chorus:

Fm            

We come from different towns,

Ab

And recognise the sound of giving up,

Fm

We come from different towns,

Eb

And recognise the sound...



Chorus:

Ab

We’re giving up, we’re giving up,

            Bbm                            Db

But I won’t breathe another word about you,

                                   Eb

We’re giving up, we’re giving up, woah,



And I won’t sleep without you.

Ab

We’re giving up, we’re giving up,

            Bbm                            Db

But I won’t breathe another word about you,

                                   Eb

We’re giving up, we’re giving up, woah,



And I can't get enough.

Woah,



Woah,



Woah,



Woah.

Ab

We’re giving up, we’re giving up,

            Bbm                            Db

But I won’t breathe another word about you,

                                   Eb

We’re giving up, we’re giving up, woah,



And I won’t sleep without you.

Ab 

We’re giving up, we’re giving up,

            Bbm                               

But I won’t breathe, giving up, we’re giving up,

            Db

And I won’t breathe, we’re giving up, we’re giving up,
