Lyrics

Un der rich, re lent less skies, I don’t I’ve care.

been I set ting highs.

I felt you walk right (Ab)through me.

You’re the thing that I in (Eb)voke, Ev my breath all per sist ent goal,

sent to make me (Ab)cra zy.

And oh,

you’re it’s hard now.

With time,

from it works out.

To be hu man is to love, e ven when it gets too much.

I’m not read y to give (Ab)up.

To be hu man is to love, e ven when it gets too much.

I’m not read y to give (Ab)up.

Oh oh oh,

All the ti gers have me now; I don’t I’ve care.

been I hear them howl.

I let them tear right (Ab)through me.

Can you help me not to (Eb)care?

Ev my breath all be comes a prayer.

Take this pain me (Ab)from me.

And oh,

you’re so far now,

so far

from my arms now.

To be hu man is to love, e ven when it gets too much.

I’m not read y to give (Ab)up.

To be hu man is to love, e ven when it gets too much.

I’m not read y to give (Ab)up.

Oh oh oh,

To be hu man,

to be hu man,

Just ’cause I pre (Gm)dict ed this does n’t (Abmaj7)make it an y eas i er to (Fm)live with.

And what’s the point of (Gm)know ing it if you can’t (Abmaj7)change it, you can’t (Fm)change, can’t change it?

Just ’cause I pre (Gm)dict ed this does n’t (Abmaj7)make it an y eas i er to (Fm)live with.

And what’s the point of (Gm)know ing it if you can’t (Abmaj7)change it, you can’t (Fm)change, can’t change it?

To be hu man is to love, e ven when it gets too much.

There’s no rea son to give (Ab)up.

Don’t give (Ab)up.

(Eb)Oh.

Don’t give (Ab)up.
