The Giver

     C                               Em
Stay by my side when I can't be your truth to find.
              D    G                                         C       D
Oh, I've said it a thousand times: you're the better half of me.
    C                                    Em
I'm paralyzed when I can't choose what's wrong or right.
          D       G                              C
I lost my compass in the tide, forgiveness isn't free. So, darlin', tell me.

[Pre-Chorus]
G                              D
  When will I learn to see I'm more than what is left of me?
        Em                                 C
There's more to life than loss and letting go. Darlin', tell me.
G                                 D
  When will I learn to see you've come to find the best in me?
        Em                                       C
And the past, I'm scared to show. Love, teach me all I need to know.

[Chorus]
                  N.C.
'Cause you're the giver (eheheheheh), giver (eheheheheheh), giver.
               N.C.
Love, teach me all I need to know,
                  G               D             Em
'cause you're the giver (eheheheheh), giver (eheheheheheh), giver.
         N.C.                            (C)
Teach me all I need to know, to know, to know.

[Verse 2]
C                    Em              D         G
Apathy, I hold to my apathy, love, I know it's bad for me,
                       C
but it's all I've ever known.
                D             C
Tell me, if you saw the color leave my eyes
                            Em
that you'd come close and restore what hides.
        D         G                         C
All I'm scared to show I forget what I need most. So, darlin', tell me

[Pre-Chorus]
G                              D
  When will I learn to see I'm more than what is left of me?
        Em                                 C
There's more to life than loss and letting go. Darlin', tell me.
G                                 D
  When will I learn to see you've come to find the best in me?
        Em                                       C
And the past, I'm scared to show. Love, teach me all I need to know.

[Chorus]
                  N.C.
'Cause you're the giver (eheheheheh), giver (eheheheheheh), giver.
               N.C.
Love, teach me all I need to know,
                  G                     D                     Em        C
'cause you're the giver (eheheheheh), giver (eheheheheheh), giver.

[Bridge]
                    G                           D
If life's black and white I'm not picking sides of
                      Em                        C
the ground that we're on, the ground that we're on.
G                       D                          Em
  I'm not picking sides   of the ground that we're on.
               N.C.
Love, teach me all I need to know.

[Chorus]
                  G                     D                     Em
'Cause you're the giver (eheheheheh), giver (eheheheheheh), giver,
               C
love, teach me all I need to know.
                  G                     D                     Em
'Cause you're the giver (eheheheheh), giver (eheheheheheh), giver,
         C                               (G)
teach me all I need to know, to know, to know.

[Outro]
G                       D                          Em
  I'm not picking sides   of the ground that we're on,
                      C
the ground that we're on.
G                       D                          Em
  I'm not picking sides   of the ground that we're on,
               N.C.
love, teach me all I need to know 'cause you're the giver.
