Estrofe 1:
    A5                           E5                E5
She asked him for forever and a promise that would last
        F#5                           D5
He said, "Babe, you know I love you, but I can't commit to that"
           A5      E5 E5                    G5  D5
She said love   isn't love     'til you give it away.
  A5                           E5       E5
A father lived in silence, saw his son become a man
          F#5                                  D5
There was a distance felt between them  'Cause he could not understand
     A5      E5 E5                 G5  D5
That love isn't love     'til you give it away

You gotta give it away

Refr?o:
A5  B5 A5     B5   A5    B5  A5
As we   live, moving side by    side
B5   A5     B5  A5
May we learn to    give
B5       A5   B5  A5
Learn to sac-ri  - fice.

Estrofe 2 :

We can entertain compassion for a world in need of care

But the road of good intentions doesn't lead to anywhere

'Cause love isn't love 'til you give it away

You gotta give it away

Ponte :
A5    A5        F#5          A5    E5    A5    E5    D5
Love is like a river flowing down from the Gi - ver   of life
A5  A5               F#5              A5      E5    A5 E5     D5
We drink from the water and our thirst is    no longer   denied
E5   D5
Oooooo, you gotta give it away

(Repeat Chorus)

Estrofe 3 :

There was a Man who walked on water
He came to set the people free
He was the ultimate example of what love can truly be
'Cause His love was his life
And He gave it away
You gotta give it away


After last chorus, the chord progression goes back and forth between A-major
