INTRO:
 D-  G  
 D- G(2x)
Sit up sit up sit up 
I’m not leaving I’m not leaving 
I believe I will 
Live up live up live up 
To what I’m singing now 
VERSE:
 D- G  
I confess, I confess I’ve been held down 
Let myself get pushed around 
I couldn’t figure it out 
In a word, lost is where I’ve been 
In a word 
I couldn’t wait to get out of it 
I couldn’t wait to get out of it 
I can’t wait 
CHORUS:
 D-  G-  Bm-  A  
 G-  D- A  
Sit up sit up sit up 
I’m not leaving I’m not leaving 
I believe I will 
Live up live up live up 
To what I’m singing now 
2ND VERSE:
 D- G  
If you try, If you try you’ll start to see 
All the things you want it to be 
I’ll let you figure it out 
Come along, walk with me ‘til dawn 
Until the light comes shining on 
You’d better get out of our way 
I can’t wait, i can’t wait 
[REPEAT CHORUS]
BRIDGE:
 Bm- G(3x)
 Bm-  D-  G-  Em- G  
Oh, I keep my head straight and move along 
I’m headed for an upswing 
Some may say I’ve got it all wrong 
Well at least I got something 
Another day not a simple life 
Countless hours of thinking twice 
I’m happy to go my own way 
I don’t care what they all say?
Sit up 
Get up 
Live up 
Sit up sit up sit up 
Get up get up get up 
Live up live up live up 
Get up get up get up 
And start living 
[REPEAT CHORUS (2x)]
BRIDGE 2:
 D-  Bm- G(2X)
[REPEAT CHORUS]
OUTRO:
 D- G
