[Intro] F Em7 A7 Bb6 A7 Dm C [Verse 1]
F                     Em7       A7
  Me and Billy were a couple of kids

Bb6    A7             Dm             C
Nobody knew about the things that we did

F                          Em7        A7
  Sharing all our toys and riding our bikes

   Bb6              A7           Dm          C
We thought it would last for the rest of our lives
[Chorus]
       Gm7
But we gave it all up

   Am7
We gave it all up

   Bb/C                  F
We gave it all up for school
[Verse 2]
F                        Em7        A7
  Then my family had to move out of town

Bb6           A7                  Dm       C
Made some new friends and started hanging around

F                           Em7         A7
  Started stealing like the rest of the guys

Bb6           A7                Dm          C
My friend got caught, I saw the fear in his eyes
[Chorus]
     Gm7
So I gave it all up

  Am7
I gave it all up

  Bb/C                F
I gave it all up for love
[Verse 3]
F                        Em7           A7
  She was eighteen and I topped her by one

Bb6            A7               Dm             C
She said she'd heard about the bad things I've done

F                           Em7        A7
  But she loved me and she just didn't care

    Bb6              A7          Dm       C
But one night, she needed me and I wasn't there
[Chorus]
       Gm7
So she gave me right up (gave me right up)

    Am7
She gave me right up (gave me right up)

    Bb/C                  F
She gave me right up for love
[Bridge]
Bb      C               F    F7
   As I look back and wonder

Bb        A7          Dm  Cm7
   Have I wasted my time?

Bb        A7             Dm
   Will I ever learn the meaning of life?

G7                     Bb/C
   Will I learn it in time?
[Verse 4]
F                      Em7         A7
  So I sit here with a couple of beers

Bb6       A7               Dm          C
Wondering how I've lasted all of these years

F                           Em7        A7
  You're beside me and it's feeling so right

      Bb6         A7              Dm         C
How I'd like to thank you for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
         Gm7
