Am                C                F
Give up the high life, if that's okay
Am               C       F
Take it or leave it for me
Am             C
Follow you, I might
              F
The darkest way
Am            C         F
Only to leave it once again
    G     Am
And I, I know
G     Am
I, I know

Chorus:
C                      G            Am
Give up your high life, if that's okay
C                  G    Am
Take it or leave it for me
C                      G           Am
Give up your high life, if that's okay
C                  G    Am
Take it or leave it for me


Put out the bright light to drive away
All that is honest and all that is brave
And follow you, I might
My darkest day
Only to leave it once again
And I, I know
And I, I know

Chorus

C                G
We are, yeah we are, we own everything
Am               C
We are, yeah we are, we owe nothing
                 G
We are, yeah we are, we own everything
Am               C
We are, yeah we are, we owe nothing

C                 G
We are, yeah we are, we own everything
C                 G
We are, yeah we are, we owe nothing
C                 G
We are, yeah we are, we own everything
C                 G
We are, yeah we are, we owe nothing
