Verse 1:

C Am

I've been pissing in the wind

I chanced a foolish grin

and dribbled on my chin

C Am

Now the ground shifts beneath my feet

G F

The faces that I greet never know my name

Chorus 1:

Just give me something

I'll take nothing

Just give me something

I'll take nothing

Verse 2:

C Am

Now the drought is crippled by the rain

that hammers on my pain

We lose ourselves again

But all we need

is to find a place to look

Our worm is on the hook

A love which dangles free

Lets watch it swim

against the waters flow

In doubt the courage grows

with no guarantee

(Chorus 1)

C Am G F

then (x2)

Verse 3:

And so it goes

the moral to this tale

As tortoise catches snail

A strong heart will prevail

Chorus 2:

It keeps on pumping

It still needs something

Just give it something

I'll take nothing

Just give it something

To keep it pumping

And I'll take nothing

Just give me something
