Capo: 	2nd fret

[Verse 1]

G                                Bm
I'm going to rise up early every day
Am                      G
Overcome every obstacle in my way
G                                 Bm
Keep a secret chamber in my heart clean
Am                   G
Polish every surface   to a brilliant sheen
D
Remain positive and stay on the grind
C
And banish every other thought from my mind

[Chorus]
                         G   D  C
I'm going to make you suffer
                         G   D  C
I'm going to make you suffer
         D                                                 Em
Let your yes be yes and let your no come from deep in your belly
C                        G
I'm going to make you suffer

[Verse 2]
            G                         Bm
There was a captain many years at sea
Am                             G
Living the life of thе sailor,   rugged and free
                G                                 Bm
Nothing but the sky to sing him to sleep at night
Am                             G
Safe in thе arms of the ocean,   no land at sight
            D
Out on the waves you try to keep warm
C
Nobody here to sound the alarm

[Chorus]
                         G   D  C
I'm going to make you suffer
                         G   D  C
I'm going to make you suffer
             D                                       Em

The first in line will receive the full brunt of the blow
C                        G
I'm going to make you suffer

[Verse 3]
               G                        Bm
Woke up from a dream whimpering like an infant
Am               G
Over time people tell me their dreams grow distant
                  G                        Bm
And they learn to love the lives they lead
Am             G
No more hungry ghosts in the chimney to feed
D
You often hear stories like these
C
Someday I will see you on your knees

[Chorus]
                         G   D  C
I'm going to make you suffer
                         G   D  C
I'm going to make you suffer
             D                            Em
Say what you like, there won't be anybody listening
C                        G
I'm going to make you suffer
