Giving Upv4

I know there are other versions of this song on UG, but none of them sounded

perfectly accurate to my ear. So this is my try for a precise transcription.

Notice: use capo on 5th fret and play the chords exactly as given. For the

strumming pattern just listen closely to the song. And for the best sound:

don't use a pick! The song gets most of its fragility and hopelessness from

the finger strumming. Enjoy!

Giving Up

Ingrid Michaelson

(Be OK - 2008)

Capo +5

What if we stop having a ball?

What if the paint chips from the wall?

Em A7Sus4

What if there's always cups in the sink?

What if I'm not what you think I am?

What if I fall further than you?

What if you dream of somebody new?

Em A7Sus4

What if I never let you win,

And chase you with a rolling pin?

Well, what if I do?

I am giving up on making passes and

I am giving up on half empty glasses and

Cmaj7 Dsus4 Em A7Sus4

I am giving up on greener grasses

I am giving up

What if our baby comes in after nine?

What it your eyes close before mine?

Em A7Sus4

What if you lose yourself sometimes?

Then I'll be the one to find you safe in my heart

I am giving up on making passes and

I am giving up on half empty glasses and

Cmaj7 Dsus4 Em A7Sus4

I am giving up on greener grasses

I am giving

Cause I am giving up (I am giving up)

Cause I am giving up (I am giving up)

Cmaj7 D Em A7Sus4

And I am giving up on greener grasses

I am giving up for you

Oh, oh, I am giving up for you

Oh, oh, I am giving up
