Forfeit

• Verse 1

Capo 4

Listen to song to feel out timing/strumming

 Verse 1
 Meet you in the shadows that come at night

 I'll listen to your cries through the door

 If you won't let me in, I'll just wait outside

 Until you're ready, I will just be ignored

 I'll find you when you hide in the darkest cave

 And be there when you emerge

 I will shield your eyes from the blinding light

 Is there a prayer to lift this curse?

Pre-Chorus
                 F                   G
'Cause you're in trouble, you're in deep

               Am                       G
When you can't wake up, but you can't sleep

           F
When it starts to slip away

(crescendo)
           G
And the world forgets your name

Chorus
                Am    C
I will not give up
                G     Dm
I will not give up on you
               Am    C
Come fire and flood
          G                  Dm
Let the Earth shake, I won't move
           Am     C
No matter what
           G              Dm
No matter what you say or do
                Am    C
I will not give up
                G     Dm
I will not give up on you

Whoa-ooh-whoa

 Verse 2


 I will wait for you at the forest edge

 And feel each season change

 I don't care what anybody else says

 They can leave, I will stay

 I'll save you a seat when the table's set

 Hold your place 'til you return

 I will light a candle by your photograph

 If and when you say the word

Pre-Chorus
                F                   G
Then I'll come running down these streets

               Am            G
As fast as my feet will take me

          F
When the crowds all go away

         G
And the world forgets your name

Chorus
                Am    C
I will not give up
                G     Dm
I will not give up on you
               Am    C
Come fire and flood
          G                  Dm
Let the Earth shake, I won't move
           Am     C
No matter what
           G              Dm
No matter what you say or do


Bridge
       Am       C         G      Dm
I will hide the pain that I push through
Am    C          G      Dm
Put a brave face on for you
Am        C         G         Dm
Choke back tears all meant for you
 Am      C      G       Dm
Oh-ooh whoa-oh-oh ooh-whoa


                Am     C
I will not give up
                G      Dm
I will not give up on you
               Am      C
Come fire and flood
              G                  Dm
I let the Earth shake, I won't move
            Am    C
No matter what
            G             Dm
No matter what you say or do
                Am      C
I will not give up
                G     Dm
I will not give up on you

Outro
        Am            C
Whoa-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oooh
        G              Dm
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oooh
        Am            C
Whoa-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oooh
        G            Dm         Am
Whoa-oh-oooh-whoa-oh-whoa-ooooh-whoaaa
