[Intro]

Em C G A

[Verse]

Em                          C                             G
Wake me from my sleep, a cautionary tale
              A                          Em
Walk in infancy, a way to derail
                        C                                  G
I wanted to be free and I wanted only you
                                  A
The walls are falling down
        Cmaj7            G/B      Am
And somebody says, "Ah give a little love
                                  Em
Give a little love, but take your time"
     Cmaj7              G/B   Am
Somebody says, "Yes, give a little love
                                  B
Give a little love, but take your time"

[Chorus]

Em
A private life, well come on now
            C                                        G
I said, "Livin' gets to be just like a rat race, rat race"
               A                                           Em
So come on, I'm-a-read between the lines
                                                              C
Fierce struggler, a natural one a tough job
                                  G
Gets to be just like a rat race, rat race
               A                                    Em C Am
So come on, I'm a locked up in myself

[Verse 2]

Em                  C
Check before rising
                            G
Check before we work
                            A
A childproof the scene
                                Em
No screams can be heard
                              C
The roof is caving in
                                             G
And the space between our hearts
                                  A
The walls are falling down
        Cmaj7           G/B       Am
And somebody says, "Ah give a little love
                                  Em
Give a little love, but take your time"
       Cmaj7           G/B    Am
Somebody says, "Yes, give a little love
                                  B
Give a little love, but take your time"

[Chorus 2]

Em
A private life, well come on now

I said, "Livin' gets to be just like a rat race, rat race"

So come on, I'm-a-read between the lines
                                                              C
Fierce struggler, a natural one a tough job
                                  G
Gets to be just like a rat race, rat race
               A                                  Em
So come on, I'm a locked up in myself
