>From Change Your World -1992

She asked him for forever and a promise that would last
He said, [f#m]"Babe you know I love you, but I can't commit to that."
She said, Love isn't love til you give it away."
A father lived in silence, saw his boy become a man
there was a [f#m]distance felt between them cause he could not understand
that love isn't love until you give it away You gotta
give it away
CHORUS:
As we live, moving side by side
may we learnD/A] to give, learn to sacrifice {eoc}
We can entertain compassion on a world in need of care
But the [f#m]road of good intentions doesn't lead to anywhere
Cause love isn't love til you give it away, You gotta
give it away.
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Love is like a [f#m]river
Flowing down from the giver of life
We drink from the [f#m]water and our thirst is no longer denied
You gotta give it away
CHORUS
There was a man who walked on water. He came to set the people free
He was the[f#m] ultimate example of what love can truly be
Cause his love was his life and he gave it away,
You gotta give it away.
CHORUS
