Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
G                              Cmaj7/G
 What if we stop having a ball?
G                                Cmaj7/G
 What if the paint chips from the       wall?
Em                                        Em7/A
  What if there's always cups in the sink?
    B7                            C     G
And what if I'm not what you think I am?

[Verse 2]
G                           Cmaj7/G
 What if I fall further than       you?
G                                  Cmaj7/G
 What if you dream of somebody new?
Em                           Em7/A    B7
  What if I never let you win     and chase you with a
        C
rolling pin?
                  G
Well what if I do?

[Chorus]
       C      D     G      D6/F#
Cause I am giving up on making passes and
 G      Dsus4 G           G7
I am giving up on half empty glasses and
 C      Dsus4 Em        A7
I am giving up  on greener grasses
C     D        G
 I am giving up

[Verse 3]
G                               Cmaj7/G
 What if our baby comes in after       nine?
G                              Cmaj7/G
 What it your eyes close before       mine?
Em                              Em7/A
  What if you lose yourself sometimes?
     B7                 C
Then I'll be the one to find you
          G
Safe in my heart

[Chorus]
       C      Dsus4 G      D6/F#
Cause I am giving up on making passes and
 G      Dsus4 G           G7
I am giving up on half empty glasses and
 C      Dsus4 Em        A7
I am giving up  on greener grasses
C    D
I am giving

[Post-Chorus]
       C      Dsus4 G
Cause I am giving up
D6/F#       G      Dsus4 G
     Cause I am giving up
G7 C      D     Em        A7
  I am giving up  on greener grasses
C     D        Em       A7
 I am giving up  for you  oh
 C   D        Em       A7
I am giving up  for you  oh
 C   D
I am giving up
