[Intro:] Am G D/F# F

         C                G/B
On the third floor of the hotel
            Am         F
There's a pregnant Flamenco dancer
        C           G/B
In the bathtub is a razor
            Am         F
And she's planning a great escape

          Am              G        D/F# F
But in a way she's giving up on herself
            Am              G             D/F# F
But either way she's giving up some of herself

In the backyard there's a small boy
Playing soldiers with an army ranger
In the front room there's a mother
And to the small boy she's a stranger

 Dm           Dm/C         G
Love is only what you give up
 C          G/B      Am
Life isn't what you get
 Dm               Dm/C       G
Love won't always fill your cup
 C               G/B      Am
Life's when you start to live
 C              G/B       F
Life's when you learn to give

When I leave here I'm gonna go home
To the small boy and the flamenco dancer
Leave the guitars in the spotlight
I'm gonna go home to my biggest fans

          Am            G            D/F# F
But in a way I'm giving up some of myself
          Am         G             D/F# F
But in a way isn't that what it's about
          Am            G            D/F# F C G/B D/F# F
But in a way I'm giving up some of myself
                                      C
But either way isn't that what it's about

                          G/B
Love is only what you give up
D/F#                 F
Life isn't what you get
 C                          G/B
Love won't always fill your cup
D/F#                      F
Life's when you start to live
 C                        G/B
Love is only what you give up
D/F#                      F
Life's when you learn to give
