They may take everything from you,
          F                                     
they may take your time to think things through.
F          E        Eb 
They'll tell you everything that you want to hear,
            Dm                       F
until you tell them that what they say is true.

                   Bb
That's when the darkness comes to your loneliness,
           F
and your given voice sounds so meaningless.
F        E        Eb
That's when they give your mouth such an eloquence,
            Dm                            F
that you think you sound just like your heroes.

But don't give them your soul,

don't give them your soul.

Don't give them your soul,
F                   Bb   Ab Gm F
save that soul for me.

       Bb
I've got those same five walls,
F
stare at the ceiling trying to transcend it all.
 F      E         Eb
that's when your doubt creeps in, tells you to break your wings,
                Dm                            F
tells you you need not try, because you're afraid to fall.

I may hurt you,
F                          F E
darling I might leave you. 
Eb                        F
I might absentmindedly mistreat you.

But at the end of it all,
F              F      E 
and at the end of the day,
Eb 
I only want one thing.
F                      Bb
I just want you to be you.
                      Bb7

save that soul for me.
