Capo 1
[G]Take take it [D]all away,
[Em]Save my heart for [C]another day.
[G]I'm up late on the [D]telephone
And I'm [Em]all alone with the [C]dial tone.
[G]Wait wait 'till the [D]sun is up,
[Em]Drown my dreams in a [C]coffee cup,
[G]Palms out, wanna [D]beg for luck
But I'm [Em]way too proud, never [C]giving up.
[G]Oh, [C]something's gotta [D]happen,
[C]Something's gotta [D]give and something's [C]got to break.
I [Em]know, [C]someday it's gonna [D]happen,
[C]Someday it's gonna [D]give, can't always [C]be this way.
And if the [G]riptide comes to [C]get me,
And pulls me [Em]under, it won't [D]upset me, I'll go [C]down
(Oh oh oh [G]oh oh oh)
I'll throw the [G]white flag of [C]surrender,
Knock me [Em]down, not [D]forever, just for [C]now
(Oh oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
[G]Give give [D]everything I've got,
[Em]Out of reach but I'll [C]take a shot,
[G]Kick rocks in the [D]parking lot,
Feel like [Em]giving up, but I'll [C]never stop.
[G]Run run, running [D]like a fool,
[Em]Never win if you [C]never lose,
[G]Find hope and a [D]little truth,
Gonna [Em]learn new tricks, gotta [C]jump through hoops.
[G]Oh, [C]something's gotta [D]happen,
[C]Something's gotta [D]give and something's [C]got to break.
I [Em]know, [C]someday it's gonna [D]happen,
[C]Someday it's gonna [D]give, can't always [C]be this way.
And if the [G]riptide comes to [C]get me,
And pulls me [Em]under, it won't [D]upset me, I'll go [C]down
(Oh oh oh [G]oh oh oh)
I'll throw the [G]white flag of [C]surrender,
Knock me [Em]down, not [D]forever, just for [C]now
(Oh oh oh [D]oh oh oh)
Not [G]forever, just for [D]now
Not [Em]forever, just for [C]now
Not [G]forever, not [D]forever, not [Em]forever
Won't stay [C]down
Not [G]forever, just for [D]now
Not [Em]forever, just for [C]now
Not [G]forever, not [D]forever, not [Em]forever
Won't stay [C]down
And if the [G]riptide comes to [C]get me,
And pulls me [Em]under, it won't [D]upset me, I'll go [C]down
(Oh oh oh [G]oh oh oh)

Knock me [Em]down, not [D]forever, just for [C]now
(Oh oh oh [D]oh oh oh)

Knock me [Em]down, not [D]forever, just for [C]now
