D
No more barricades, slowly diffusing
F#m              E
I'll be leaving now, nobody's losing
D
If you could play a part, stay in resistance
F#m                E
Every fault would fade into the distance

Chorus:
D
Run if you like
A                       E
All of the things that you left behind
D
Hold me down
A                  E
You can't deny and I can't deny
D
Open your eyes
A                   E
I'll look away and you come around
    D
To build your words
 A                       E
High enough to carry you over
       Bm
And I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
       F#m
If you only hadn't given me up
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)
        Bm
Then I never would've given you up
(Never would've given you up, you up)
       F#m
If you only hadn't given me up
E
(Only hadn't given me up, me up)

No more clarity, only confusion
Every focused thought just an illusion
If I could see you now, if you would listen
Every fault would fade into the distance

Run if you like
All the mistakes that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over

Chorus

         D F#m E
And you are
     D                       F#m E
If I only hadn't given you up
       D                      F#m
If you only hadn't given me up
        E
And you are
     D                       F#m
If I only hadn't given you up
E
Losin' my breath and leaving' the rest

Run if you like
All the mistakes that you left behind
Hold me down
You can't deny and I can't deny
Open your eyes
I'll look away and you come around
To build your words
High enough to carry you over

Chorus

Then I never would've given you up
Never would've given you up, you up
If you only hadn't given me up
Only hadn't given me up, me up
Then I never would've given you up
Never would've given you up, you up
If you only hadn't given me up
Only hadn't given me up
