[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]What if we stop
having a [F]ball?
[C]What if the paint
chips from [F]the wall?
[Am]What if there's always
cups in the [D]sink?
Oh [E]what if I'm not what you [F]think I am?
[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]What if I fall
further [F]than you?
[C]What if you dream
of somebody [F]new?
[Am]What if I never let you win[D]
And [E]chase you with a rolling [F]pin?
Well what if I [C]do?

[Chorus 1]
'Cause [F]I am g[G]iving u[C]p
on [G]making passes
and [F]I am g[G]iving u[C]p on half empty glasses
And [F]I am g[G]iving u[Am]p on gr[D]eener grasses
[F]I am giv[G]ing up
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]What if our baby
comes in [F]after nine?
[C]What it your eyes
close be[F]fore mine?
[Am]What if you lose yourself some[D]times?
Then [E]I'll be the one to [F]find you
Safe in [C]my heart

[Chorus 2]
'Cause [F]I am g[G]iving u[C]p
on [G]making passes
and [F]I am g[G]iving u[C]p on half empty glasses
And [F]I am g[G]iving u[Am]p on gr[D]eener grasses
[F]I am g[G]iving

[Outro 1]
'Cause [F]I am g[G]iving... I[C] am gi[G]ving...
'Cause [F]I am g[G]iving...
[C]I am giving...
[F]I am g[G]iving u[Am]p on gr[D]eener grasses
[F]I am giv[G]ing up [Am]for you, [D]oh
[F]I am g[G]iving up
[Am]for you,[D] oh
[F]I am g[G]iving up
[C]
