Try Not to Beg
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
When I try to open my eyes, I know I feel something
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
When I try, and run for surprise or try to escape
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
When I feel like I’ve realized, I know I’m on to something
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
As I feel that moment arise, right now I feel great

A7 B7
Looking back, Jack, take a tactic back
A7 E7
You’ll feel this forever
A7 B7
Stay awake, Jayce, end the place race
G7
Before it’s too late
A7 B7
Spend your time, rhyme harmonize
A7 E7
with the thoughts that are out there for you
A7 B7
Take this step, yep, it’s a chase, race
G7
we’ve all got to taste

B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
When I feel this feeling arrive, I know that I’m on to something
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
When I reach the moment of right, I’m glad that I waited for you
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
The reason that this feeling exists, to be in the moment’s inspiring
B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7 B7 E7
The awe-inspired feeling it lifts my soul up up and away

A7 B7
Know this time, rhyme, ring the chime, crime
A7 E7
It’s coming all after us now
A7 B7
Read your rights, left, take a turn,
G7
we’ve all got to make
A7 B7
Re-arrive live, share, there’s something that
A7 E7
we’re all sorry for, now
A7 B7
Take this step, yep, it’s a chase, race
G7
we’ve all got to taste

B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to beg
B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to give me the time
B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to beg
B7 E7 G7
The last move is mine
B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to beg time
B7 E7 G7
To keep you awake
B7 E7 G7
You just have to make time
B7 E7 G7
Your willing slave
B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to beg
B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to give me the time
B7 E7 G7
You don’t have to beg
B7 E7 G7
The last move is mine

B7 E7 G7
The last move is mine
B7 E7 G7
The last move is mine
B7 E7 G7
The last move is mine
B7 E7 G7
End on E7add2
