[Verse 1]
C                        F
What if we stop having a ball

C                                F
What if the paint chips from the wall

Am                                 G
What if there's always cups in the sink

                         F      C
What if I'm not what you think, I am?
[Verse 2]
C                           F
What if I fall further than you

C                             F
What if you dream of somebody new

Am                      G
What if I never let you in

                         F
Chase you with a rolling pin

                C
Well, what if I do
[Chorus]
       F    G      C     C7 
'Cause I am giving up on making passes

    F    G      C          C7
And I am giving up on half empty glasses

    F    G      Am    F
And I am giving up on greener grasses

F    G      C
I am giving up
[Verse 3]
C                               F
What if our baby comes in after nine?

What if your eyes close before mine?

Am                        G
What if you lose yourself sometime?

                       F
And I'll be the one to find you

           C
Safe in my heart?
[Chorus]
       F    G      C     C7 
'Cause I am giving up on making passes

    F    G      C          C7
And I am giving up on half empty glasses

    F    G      Am    F
And I am giving up on greener grasses

F    G       
I am giving...

I am giving up.
