Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Verse:
Em                             C
Todayʼs a shade of disbelief
                  Am
Inflict the shame you sent to me
Em                             C
I can entrust a new meaning
                  Am
I’m not ready

Pre-chorus:
                               Em   C
So is this what it feels like?
                              Am
Breaking from the inside, all the time

Chorus:
                C                            Em
Tell me, whatʼs the cost of giving up?
                  D                                  Am
Why does it feel like help will never come?
                C                            Em
Maybe Iʼm the one l’m running from
                  D                                  Am
Itʼs too much to carry, itʼs all getting heavy
            Em
Lift me up

Verse:
Em                             C
It burrows like a summer tick
                Am
Embeds itself, to make me sick
Em                             C
Of all the places it could be
                Am
Itʼs still in me

Pre-chorus:
                                  Em
Guess this is what it feels like
                            C                   Am
Speaking from the dark side of my mind

Chorus:
                C                            Em
Tell me, whatʼs the cost of giving up?
                  D                                  Am
Why does it feel like help will never come?
                C                            Em
Maybe Iʼm the one l’m running from
                  D                                  Am
Itʼs too much to carry, itʼs all getting heavy
            Em
Lift me up

Bridge:
Em
Can’t push me any further down in the trench
Back against the wall
So you wanna test me now?
While the others beg and fail to repent
They were fit to suffer
And I will dig back out

Chorus:
                C                            Em
Tell me, whatʼs the cost of giving up?
                  D                                  Am
Why does it feel like help will never come?
                C                            Em
Maybe Iʼm the one l’m running from
                  D                                  Am
Itʼs too much to carry, itʼs all getting heavy

                C                            Em
Tell me, whatʼs the cost of giving up?
                  D                                  Am
Why does it feel like help will never come?
                C                            Em
Maybe Iʼm the one l’m running from
                  D                                  Am
Itʼs too much to carry, itʼs all getting heavy
          Em
Lift me up

Outro:
