Giving Up by Ingrid Michaelson Transcribed by: sabaideeka Email: ckasemset at Gmail Hey guys, my sister likes this song and I'm looking for easy songs to play, so I ear-transcribed this and it's pretty nice and easy! (Still can't play the chords fast enough myself, but oh well...) I noticed that there are some other chords for this song out there but I think this version sounds a bit more like the recorded version because it uses a capo, though it's probably still not perfect. UPDATED: One commenter asked for the chords for the last chorus, so here's my best guess! IMPORTANT: Use a capo! Capo 5th fret Chords: EADGBe G 320003 Cmaj7 032003 (I guess you could mute the E string too but I don't) Em7 022033 Dsus4 xx0233 B7 x21202 C x32010 G7 323003 A7 x02223 D xx0232 G/f# 220003 G* 330003 G Cmaj7 What if we stop having a ball? G Cmaj7 What if the paint chips from the wall? Em7 Dsus4 What if there's always cups in the sink? B7 C G What if I'm not what you think I am? G Cmaj7 What if I fall further than you? G Cmaj7 What if you dream of somebody new? Em7 Dsus4 B7 C What if I never let you win, chase you with a rolling pin? G Well what if I do? Cmaj7 Dsus4 G G7 I am giving up on making passes and Cmaj7 Dsus4 G G7 I am giving up on half empty glasses and Cmaj7 Dsus4 Em7 A7 I am giving up on greener grasses Cmaj7 D G I am giving up What if our baby comes home after nine? What it your eyes close before mine? What if you lose yourself sometimes?
