VERSE:
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, my hungry ghost of hopefulness
Bm A F#m D F#m D F#m D
Giving up everything, not haunted by wanting this
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the fortune I was saving
Bm A F#m D F#m D F#m D
Giving up everything, I mercy-killed my craving
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, I've opened up my eyes for this
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, see the whole magnificent emptiness
BRIDGE:
F#m D
Gave what I want for how it is,
F#m D
for the stone inside and the bitterness,
F#m D
for the sweetness at the core of it
Bm A F#m D (x2)
VERSE:
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the master plan, the scheming
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, my cursed search for meaning
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the compass and the map I was reading
F#m D F#m D Bm (Break)
The hinterlands I'm leaving, I'm finally leaving behind
OUTRO:
Bm A F#m D
Giving up everything, the big to-do, the hullabaloo,
F#m D
the tug-of-war for some twisted truth.
F#m D
For the everlasting ache of it
F#m D
no longer slave, not chained to it
F#m D
no gate, no guard, no keeper,
F#m D F#m D
no guru, master, teacher
F#m D
See the slow-receding faces
Bm (stop)
dissolve to black, no traces.
