[Ebm7] giving all my [Ab7] love to this world [Dbmaj9] Only [Gbmaj7]to be told [Cm7b5] I can't see, I [Bmaj7] can't breathe, [Bb7#5] no more will we [Ebm7] be....And
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) [Ab7]nothing's going to change the [Dbmaj9]way we live Cos' [Gbmaj7] we can always take but [Cm7b5] never give An [Cm7b5] now that things're changing [Bb7#5] for the worse, see
[Ebm7] Woah, [Ab7] It's a crazy [Dbmaj9] world we're living in [Gbmaj7] And I just can't [Cm7b5] see that Half of [Bmaj7] us immersed in [Bb7#5-6x677x] sin is (odd extra bars/chords?) all we [Bb7] have to [Dm7b5-x5656x??] give these
