Brandi Carlile
Looking Out
Give up the Ghost
Standard tuning, no capo
G Em C
I went out looking for the answers and never left my town.
G D
I’m no good at understanding, but I’m good at standing ground.
G Em
And when I asked a corner preacher I couldn’t hear him for my
C G D
youth. Some people get religion some people get the truth. I
C G
never get the truth, I never get the truth.
Chorus:
Bm C G
I know the darkness falls on you. And it’s just a point of view
D Em
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when
C Am
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
C G
(Strum)
heart can break in two, someone loves you.
G Em C
I lay this suitcase on my chest so I can feel somebody’s weight.
G D
And I lay you to rest just to feel a give and take?
G Em C
I got a new interpretation and it’s a better point of view, you
G D
were looking for a landslide I was looking out for you, I was
C G
looking out for you, someone’s looking out for you
Chorus:
Bm C G
I know the darkness falls on you. And it’s just a point of view
D Em
When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and when
C Am
you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like your
C G
heart can break in two, someone loves you.
Bridge
G (strum) Em (strum)
I am afraid of crossing lines. I am afraid of flying blind.
C (strum) G(Strum) D(strum)
afraid of inquiring minds. Afraid of being left behind.
G Em C
I close my eyes I think of you, I take a step I think of you,
G D
I catch my breath I think of you, I cannot rest I think of you
Last Chorus
Bm C
My one and only wrecking ball, and you’re cutting through my
G D Em
walls. When you’re outside looking in you belong to someone and
C Am
when you feel like giving in and the coming of the end, like
C G
your heart could break in two, someone loves you.
