[Verse 1]
G C G
I haven't seen my father in some time
Em C D
But his face is always staring back at me
C Em D G
His heavy hands hang at the ends of my arms
C D G
And my colors change like the sea
[Verse 2]
G C G
But I don't worry much about time lost
Em C D
I'm not gunning for the dreams I couldn't find
C Em D G
'Cause he taught me how to walk the best that I can
C D G
On the road I've left behind
[Chorus]
Em
But most of all
D G
He taught me to forgive
C G
How to keep a cool head
D G
How to love the one you're with
Em
And when I'm far into the distance
D G
And the pushing comes to shove
C G
To remember what comes back
D G
When you give away your love
D
Give away your love
C G
When you give your love away
D
Give away your love
[Verse 3]
G C G
I haven't heard my mother's voice in a while
Em C D
But her words are always falling out my mouth
C Em D G
My mind and spirit are at odds sometimes
C D G
And they fight like the north and the south
[Verse 4]
G C G
But I still care enough to bear the weight
Em C D
Of the heaviness to which my heart is tethered
C Em D G
She taught me how to be strong and say goodbye
C D G
And that love is forever
[Chorus]
Em
But most of all
D G
She taught me how to fight
C G
How to move across the line
D G
Between the wrong and the right
Em
And when I'm turned out in the darkness
D G
And the pushing comes to shove
C G
To remember what comes back
D G
When you give away your love
D
Give away your love
C G
When you give your love away
D
Give away your love
C G
Give your love away
D G
Oh, give your love away
C G D
And remember what comes back to you
Em G
Give your love away
D Em
Oh, give your love away
C G D
And remember what comes back to you
[Outro]
G C G
I haven't seen my father in some time
Em C D
But his face is always staring back at me
C Em D G
His heavy hands hang at the ends of my arms
C D G
