Then

VERSE 1:
E           C#m        E       A
  I was born as a free man
  E               C#m          E       A
  And now I’m tied to the mast
E                 C#m           E
  Like the strings of an old guitar
       A      E         B
  Bent out of tune too far

(Same chord structure as above + lead below)
Now as your temperature rises
As I baulk on the flames
As I come to devices
I hear the words that you say

The lead starts in the second part of the verse:
Repeat this (the picking varies a bit)

E|-----7--------9---------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------9--------9-------------------------------------------------------|
G|--9------9--------9-----------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|


CHORUS:
E             C#m           G#m
Give it up,   give it up,   give it up
A     E         B
Oh,   give  it  up
E            C#m        G#m
 Are you trying to say  this world's
    A     E       B
not beautiful enough?

E                   F#
  Outside line to a   collect call
  B
  Oh you say it's easy
  You do it just to tease me I know

VERSE 2:
(Same chords as VERSE 1)
Now I'm the ghost of a thousand
Now I'm a million years
I've been the slave to the old song
That's ringing in your ear

E                 F#
  Direct line to     all you girls and boys
      B
  You say that love will free me
  You say it just to see me give up

CHORUS:
E             C#m           G#m
Give it up,   give it up,   give it up
A     E         B
Oh,   give  it  up
E            C#m        G#m
 Are you trying to say  this world's
    A     E       B
not beautiful enough?


          A                     E
What’s it like on the moral high ground?
A                             E
Judging by your face well I'm glad I never asked
A                             B
Step outside the bar and kick seven shades of shit out of you

BRIDGE:
Repeat the intro lick with
E   C#m   E     A
E   C#m   E     A
E   C#m   G#m   A   E   B

A                B
Outside line to,   to all you girls and boys

CHORUS:
E             C#m           G#m
Give it up,   give it up,   give it up
A     E         B
Oh,   give  it  up
E            C#m        G#m
 Are you trying to say  this world's
    A     E       B
not beautiful enough?


B (The bass walks down with these notes: B – A – G# - F#)
   Seven shades of nothing
   Seven shades of nothing to use
