Sometimes I Want To Give Up

Lyrics and Chords

Amin7                     D

All alone in my room

Amin7                                                                                D

Seems like my hope’s left hanging on the chin of the crescent moon

Amin7                 D

Laid by the lee

Amin7                                    D

Lord, I’m not half the liar I used to be

G

Sometimes I want to give up

Emin

It’s just a waste of time

Amin7

Sometimes I want to give up

C

I get no peace of mind

G

Sometimes I want to give up

Emin

It’s just a wretched lie

Amin7

I know if you’re not in love

D                                  Amin

You’re not really alive..

D

..To the bliss

Amin7                                   D

In all the lovers eyes that mock you as they kiss

Amin7                                          D

And the lonely, drunken old men

Amin7                                   D

See themselves in you and you see yourself in them

G

Sometimes I want to give up

Emin

It’s just a waste of time

Amin7

Sometimes I want to give up

C

I get no peace of mind

G

Sometimes I want to give up

Emin

It’s just a wretched lie

Amin7

I know if you’re not in love

D

You’re not really alive..

I prayed I’d always be near my sweet angel

But it was not to be

I get no peace of mind

Only an angel can take an angel’s place

Lyrics

All alone in my room
Seems like my hope’s left hanging on the chin of the crescent moon
Laid by the lee
Lord, I’m not half the liar I used to be

Sometimes I want to give up
It’s just a waste of time
Sometimes I want to give up
I get no peace of mind
Sometimes I want to give up
It’s just a wretched lie
I know if you’re not in love
You’re not really alive..

..To the bliss
In all the lovers eyes that mock you as they kiss
And the lonely, drunken old men
See themselves in you and you see yourself in them

Sometimes I want to give up
It’s just a waste of time
Sometimes I want to give up
I get no peace of mind
Sometimes I want to give up
It’s just a wretched lie
I know if you’re not in love
You’re not really alive

As I lay half asleep
To the sound of her dressing, like the sound of the sea
I prayed I’d always be near my sweet angel
But it was not to be

Sometimes I want to give up
It’s just a waste of time
Sometimes I want to give up
I get no peace of mind
Sometimes I want to give up
It’s just a wretched lie
I know if you’re not in love
You’re not really alive

Only an angel can take an angel’s place
