[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
