You Get What You Give

[A]

 Well I s[A]hake when I walk, s[E]pit when i'm down,
b[F#]eat my head against the wall like the f[D]ool that I am.
Catch o[A]ne dropping tear in the [E]palm of my hand,
for the r[F#]est'd already fallen, to the g[D]round I couldn't stand on.

On and [A]on I declare, on and [E]on I'll debate you.
To c[F#]ut my throat and bury me, in the [D]ditch that I belong to.
you showed me a [A]sign, yeah a g[E]limmer of light,
while some called it [F#]heaven, oh well [D]I called 'em eyes,

Oh my [D]lady, I [A]never thought that I'd survive,
[E]when you hit bottom, man it's [F#]hard enough to climb,
much l[D]ess not lay down, much l[A]ess stay awake,
and h[E]old your head high enough to [F#]see what's in your way,

i[D]f you live. [A]
i[E]f you live.

But I [A]followed the trail, let [E]my instict work,
for a s[F#]hot in the dark, or at t[D]imes flush a bird.
Yeah for [A]one special dear's hand in the [E]palm of my own.
you [F#]roll the dice and gamble now, to n[D]ever be alone.

On and [A]on I declare, on and [E]on I'll debate you,
[F#]mend this heart and pull me, from the d[D]itch that I fell into,
yeah you [A]showed me a sign, you were a [E]beacon of light,
while [F#]some called it heaven, I called it l[D]ove at first sight

Oh my l[D]ady, I n[A]ever thought that I'd survive,
[E]when you hit bottom, man it's [F#]hard enough to climb,
much l[D]ess not lay down, much l[A]ess stay awake,
and h[E]old your head high enough to [F#]see what's in your way,

i[D]f you live. [A]
if you [E]live.
You get what you g[D]ive,  [A]
if you l[E]ive.

[D]Ooooooh[A]       [E]  x2

So w[D]hat is it worth, to s[A]tay in the dirt,
to [E]beat your head against the wall, like a f[F#]ool who's been hurt,
oh w[D]hat is it worth, to s[A]tand your ground proud,
d[E]ig your nails into that wall, c[F#]rying, screaming loud,

Oh my lad[D]y, I nev[A]er thought that I'd survive,
[E]when you hit bottom, man it's [F#]hard enough to climb,
much l[D]ess not lay down, much l[A]ess stay awake,
and h[E]old your head high enough to [F#]see what's in your way,

i[D]f you live. [A]
O[E]h if you live.
You get what you [D]give, [A]
if you l[E]ive.
