==INTRO==
G   F   Am


==VERSE==
                                                               G
Communication. I wait to see if we could ever get together and talk like we used to
                           F                            Am
We get together and we talk like we used to, but you don't want to
                G
You want a separation and now that's strike three
                              F                     Am
I tried everything, I work so hard for you to constantly hear how I fail and abandon you
C                              Dm
I put my heart in a dream (my heart)
                                      G
And now that dream, it makes sure the baby
                               F
She has food to eat, and your fancy house gets paid for you hear me?
C                      Dm
You never learned one thing, no, you never believed in me...
G                                           F
So if you're gonna leave, get out. Just remember this is what I'm all about:


==CHORUS==
                Dm
I do it for the love, I do it for the rain,
                 C
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
                Bb
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt...
                Am                                   F
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
                Dm
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
                C
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
                Bb
I do it for the audience who understands the need
                F
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed


==POST-CHORUS==
(F)
So pack it up, pack it in - Write it up, write it down

Just remember that I've told you it's what I'm all about


==VERSE==
G
I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
               F
An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze (You've gotta be kidding me)
G
How hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong,
    F                                                Am
You bury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bomb.
C                                 Dm
I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born
G                                 F                                                   C
And I never knew what words to say that could get us through our first chance at divorce
(C)                            Dm
You promised change and I believed
                                 G                          F         
I walked right back into the same, so if you're gonna leave, yeah ? go away!


==CHORUS==
                Dm
I do it for the love, I do it for the rain,
                 C
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
                Bb
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt...
                Am                            F
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
                Dm
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
                C
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
                Bb
I do it for the audience who understands the need
                F
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed


==BRIDGE/CHORUS2==
                Dm 
I do it for my brother, I do it for his wife
                C
I do it for my manager, 'cause god he saved my life
                Bb
I do it for the confidence, I do it for release
                    Am               F
I do it 'cause I'm sick of being sad, it's war and peace
                Dm
I do it for the sunshine, for my friends
         C                          Bb
I did it for you, for you over and over and over again
               Am          F
But you would never understand, so fuck it!


==POST-CHORUS==
(F)
So pack it up, pack it in - Write it up, write it down

Just remember that I've told you it's what I'm all about


==INTERLUDE==

Dm   C   Bb   Am  F
(Go away!)


==CHORUS==

I do it for the love, I do it for the rain,
                 C
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
                Bb
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt...
                Am                             F
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
                Dm
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
                C
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
                Bb
I do it for the audience who understands the need
                Am                     F
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed


==OUTRO==
                Dm             C

                Bb          Am   F
Do it for the love for the love
                Dm                C
I do it for the love, Do it do it do it
         Bb        Am     F
For the love, for my daughter
(F)
