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