                                                               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==

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
