Looking Out
Give up the Ghost

Standard tuning, no capo

                                                  
I went out looking for the answers and never left my town. 
                                                      
I’m no good at understanding, but I’m good at standing ground. 
                                                
And when I asked a corner preacher I couldn’t hear him for my 
                                                         
youth. Some people get religion some people get the truth. I
                                     
never get the truth, I never get the truth.

Chorus:
                                                            
I know the darkness falls on you. And it’s just a point of view
                                                      
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when 
                     
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your 
                     (Strum)            
heart can break in two, someone loves you.


                                                         
I lay this suitcase on my chest so I can feel somebody’s weight. 
                                              
And I lay you to rest just to feel a give and take? 
                                                     
I got a new interpretation and it’s a better point of view, you 
                                                            
were looking for a landslide I was looking out for you, I was 
                                                
looking out for you, someone’s looking out for you

Chorus:
                                                            
I know the darkness falls on you. And it’s just a point of view
                                                      
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when 
                     
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your 
                                         
heart can break in two, someone loves you.

Bridge
 (strum)                      (strum)
I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind.  

 (strum)                  (Strum)               (strum)to 
afraid of inquiring minds. Afraid of being left behind. 

                                                        
I close my eyes I think of you, I take a step I think of you, 
                                                            
I catch my breath I think of you, I cannot rest I think of you

Last Chorus
                                         
My one and only wrecking ball, and you’re cutting through my 
                                                            
walls. When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and 
                                                                  
when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like 
                                              
your heart could break in two, someone loves you.
