E
Feel the heat below my feet
   Am
I have to go, no time to sleep
E
Can't believe the things you say
  Am
I turn my head and walk away
    Dm                E/G#     Am
You make me sick, you make me nervous

 E
Times are gone when you would say
 Am
This is the one and seize the day
 E
Times are gone for honesty
     Am
"My victory is your defeat"
    Dm                   E       Am  G
Oh can't you see you've been mistaken

Chorus:
       C        E           Am      Dm
In my life I decide and it turns me on
      Fmaj7      E           Am      G
How I am, how I live, who I love,  yeah
       C            E           Am      Dm
In my way I feel strong and it turns me on
       F         E         Am
In my life, I decide, I decide, I decide

All you do, you can't deny it,
It's waste of time, waste of time
Can i suggest that you invest
In something more than hopelessness
Before you know, the ride is over

Chorus

F
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you, it's up to you

Am           G                F
The record shows that you're dead
             G
but you're still living
Am     G             F             G
Every time you have died you have been given
Am        G        F            G
Another chance to fix your bad attitude
Am          G   F            G
And make a move, it's up to you

It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you

You
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
