I've Cgiven up Gusing my Carms
They Fburn too much Genergy, CI see no harm
In Fusing my Ghead, I'll Ambite things inEmstead
I'm Dmsure it will Cwork like a Gcharm
I've Cgiven up Gusing my Ceyes
It Fgives me a Gheadache to Clook at bright skies
I Fdon't need to Gsee, my Amnose will guide Emme
It Dmseems like a Cgood comproGmise
I've Cgiven up Gusing my Clegs
It's Fhard work to Gwalk, I'll take Crides but won't beg
If FI'm on the Gground, please Amdrive me aEmround
Or Dmjust prop me Cup on your Gpegs
I've Cgiven up Gusing my Cneck

By the Ftime that I'm Gthrough, I'll have eAmnough strength for Emtwo
If Dmyou'd like to Chelp, I take Gchecks
I've given up using my brain.﻿

[Verses]

C G C

I've given up using my arms

F G C

They burn too much energy, I see no harm

F G Am Em

In using my head, I'll bite things instead

Dm C G

I'm sure it will work like a charm

C G C

I've given up using my eyes

F G C

It gives me a headache to look at bright skies

F G Am Em

I don't need to see, my nose will guide me

Dm C G

It seems like a good compromise

C G C

I've given up using my legs

F G C

It's hard work to walk, I'll take rides but won't beg

F G Am Em

If I'm on the ground, please drive me around

Dm C G

Or just prop me up on your pegs

C G C

I've given up using my neck

F G C

It should save me some effort, I guess what the heck

By the time that I'm through, I'll have enough strength for two

If you'd like to help, I take checks
