Giving Up On Love

III

G

We've been over and over this thing we call love

C

And I've been thinking about what my friends would say

C

If I were to give it up

G

G7*

'Cause I've been tired and hopeful (I've been hurting inside)

C

Cm

For far too long now (too long now)

G

D

C

So I'm giving it up, giving up, giving up on love

G

Giving up on love

G

Hold back, you've got me all wrong

G

And now it's like it's over before it's even begun

C

You need to sit back and take it as a test If you'd given me straight answers I would never have had to guess

G

G7*

'Cause I've been tired and hopeful (I've been hurting inside)

C

Cm

For far too long now (too long now)

So I'm giving it up, giving up, giving up on love

C

And it was obvious from the start We were the only ones with hearts And you pull mine apart

Am

D7

With the things that you do

Bm

C

The house was falling from the cliffs It is only glass and brick If you throw enough it sticks

Am

D7

I learnt that before

Am

D7

It's a battle not a war

G

'Cause we've been over and over this thing we call love

It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful

C/g

F

She said the sleepers on the tracks have woken up

C/g

G7

It's the end of the line I guess our luck is up

C/g

F

It was fun while it lasted because nothing ever does

C/g

G7

F

C/g

Love has lost it's meaning it was wasted on us In the electrical storm you were running wild You had a death wish you were a child I came to baring a lightning bolt If you came back as the deep sea I would come back as the salt

F

G7

It's like your head is stuck in a tightening vice

Em

Am

Your ears are deaf to your friend's advice

F

G7

Because you know that your heart will never be full

Em

Am

F

It doesn't always have to be beautiful

Am

G7

C/g

Unless it's beautiful OK, leave now, leave now if you just can't stay 'Cause there's nothing worse than somebody who pretended away The years of their youth they will never get back So I'll go home and practice the traits you said I lack Like listening to the thunder of your heart And how that every other beat we grow further apart Love was always gonna be hard to give up But I'm thinking that you'll never love anybody else as much But it's ugly it's ugly now, yeah I know But you never give things enough time to grow It's like driving through a carnival It doesn't always have to be beautiful Unless it's beautiful

C/g

Em

Am

Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true

F

G7

But waiting never quite felt like waiting when waiting was with you

C/g

Em

Am

Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true

F

G7

F

G7

C/g

But waiting never quite felt like waiting when waiting was with you So let me tell you, tell you a thing or two About how to survive when there's a me and a you It's awful it's gruesome it's something it's cruel Forever you will ask out if it's happened to you Because I'm always thinking, thinking about where you are Who you're with and if your mind is far From what we do and we're alone It's all too much for me and now the wall hits the foam It's like a head is stuck in a tightening vice Your ears are deaf to your friend's advice Because you know that your heart will never be full It doesn't always have to be beautiful Unless it's beautiful Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true But waiting never quite felt like waiting when waiting was with you Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true But waiting never quite felt like waiting when waiting was with you

God knows we're not holy, in decisions we make and how we spend our time

Am

C

But I got faster and faster, and you got harder to please

G

Em

And you got harder to find and our prayers were answered

G

C

When we wrote these songs and we lost our minds

And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves

C

So just dance with me, move your body round this time machine, start it again

I want you to celebrate the fact our bodies can recreate

G

C

G

New versions of ourselves, we won't need help Something's making me nervous, running through my body, can't remember why We thought we had all the answers, we got the stomach to learn, but haven't got the time Your body looks good tonight, I wonder if you'd care If I was still in your shirt, the way we were when we first met Before your mind filled with air and mine with dirt And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves And we're scared about the world, the atmosphere, our bodies, and our health So just dance with me, move your body round this time machine, start it again I want you to celebrate the fact our bodies can recreate New versions of ourselves, we won't need help

C

But the fact is you're good, yeah, we know that you're nice

C

C

But we don't get a world and we don't get a life Where all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves And we're scared about the world, the atmosphere, our bodies, and our health So just dance with me, move your body round this time machine, start it again I want you to celebrate the fact our bodies can recreate New versions of ourselves, we won't need help Hey hey, look at him go Hey hey, look at him go Hey hey, look at him go Hey hey, look at him go!

Will you hold my hand when I go? If I get to thirty and I don't have a wife I'll ask you nicely but I won't ask twice If I get to forty and I don't have a spouse I'll fashion you a letter and I'll send it to your house If I get to sixty will you let me slip away Into an armchair for the rest of my days 'Cause you've got your family and I've got mine The love that we share is for another time 'Cause there are so many lessons That I just never get to learn And there are so many questions that still burn, like Will you hold my hand when I go? Will you hold my hand when I go? Will you hold my hand when I go? Will you hold my hand when I go?
