[G#m]Give up on her, brother, [E]she's only messing with your head

[G#m]Walls are [E]closing on in
[B]Pick it on [G#m]up again, thicker skin
[E]Here's a [B]place to begin
[C#m]Find some peace [E]of mind from [B]that exit line
[G#m]As there's no [E]point in rushing
[B]When that's [G#m]good for nothing
[G#m]How's the irony?
[F#]You're so [B]blind, I see
[C#m]How it's [G#m]all erupting
[E]Wait a while's got [B]a hold on me
[E]Wait a while's got [B]a hold on me
[B]Give up [C#m]on him, sister
[G#m]He's only fucking [E]with your head
[B]Got no time [C#m]for your old [G#m]man or fam
[A]Just the ins and [B]outs of your bed
[G#m]Now losing a [E]lover is hard [B]enough as it is
[G#m]Know your worth, [E]put yourself first
[B]And don't [G#m]you ever forget
[E]Feels like nothing's [B]up, dead end rut
[G#m]Walls are [E]closing on in

[E]Wait a while's got [B]a hold on me
[C#m]I could wait a [G#m]while, or I could [A]walk the other way
[E]It's too late [B]to call, it's [E]too late to call
[B]I don't wanna [E]get caught up [B]this way, this wicked game
[E]It's too late [B]to call, it's [E]too late to call
[E]It's too late [B]to call, it's [E]too late to call
[B]It's too late to [E]call, it's too late
