F
If I was in it for the money
            F
I'd have a mansion on a hill by now
         Bb
If I was in it for milk and honey
          Bb
I'd have honeybees and a cow
         F
If I was in it for the fame
      Bb
You'd already know my name
      F             C               F
I've only ever been in it for the love


[Verse 2]
         F
I was born to make a loud noise
   F
A six-string Troubadour
       Bb
Like a kid who thinks he's a cowboy
        Bb
With a cap, gun, and carousel horse
         F
I keep runnin' down my dream
    Bb
It runs in my bloodstream
      F             C               F
I've only ever been in it for the love (Yeah)


[Chorus]
Bb                                     F
Love can't fill your tank or pay your rent
         Bb                               C
Oh, but love's the only reason it makes sense
         F
If you can't put your heart into it
         Bb
For the love of God, don't do it
          F                    C              F
If you're in it, you bettеr be in it for the love (Yеah)


[Verse 3]
      F
Now, daddy was a rock 'n' roll drummer
     F
Who suffered in a suit and tie
            Bb
Yeah, that bank job did a number
     Bb
It drained his spirit dry
           F
He said, "Listen, son, learn from me
         Bb
Oh, the money ain't everything"
         F             C               F
So I've only ever been in it for the love (That's right)


[Chorus]
Bb                                     F
Love can't fill your tank or pay your rent
         Bb                               C
Oh, but love's the only reason it makes sense
         F
If you can't put your heart into it
         Bb
For the love of God, don't do it
          F                    C              F
If you're in it, you bettеr be in it for the love (Here we go)


[Instrumental Break]
Bb  F   Bb   C   F


[Outro]
           F
Well, I'm far from makin' a fortune
       F
But I do pretty good for myself
       Bb
And I know what's most important
          Bb
I got my family, and I got my health
   F                          Bb
I keep my main objective on keepin' a good perspective
     F               C               F
I'm in it, yeah, I'm in it for the love (That's right)
         F
If I was in it for the fame
      Bb
You'd already know my name
          F             C               F
But I've only ever been in it for the love
C  F
