Verse 
C#m7/A                            D(add9) 
       Dozens of children playing manhunt all day to avoid doing chores 
C#m7/A                               D(add9) 
       Neighborhood summers we would spend at the shore 
C#m7/A                       D(add9) 
       Childhood crushes, so dramatic, yet pure, always swaying the score 
C#m7/A                         D(add9) 
       Would get me in trouble more and more 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
                F#m 
I'd give it all up 
                E 
I'd give it all up 
                D 
I'd give it all up 
                F#m 
I'd give it all up 
                E 
I'd give it all up 
                D 
I'd give it all up 

To watch you win the war

Verse 
C#m7/A                          D(add9) 
       Saturday nights we would dress up, sneak out, and go out on the town 
C#m7/A                               D(add9) 
       A couple of misfits without a sorrow to drown 
C#m7/A                                D(add9) 
       You'd tell me stories, such adventures, with a spirit no one dared to shoot down 
C#m7/A                     D(add9) 
       Imagination without bounds

                F#m 
I'd give it all up 
                E 
I'd give it all up 
                D 
I'd give it all up 
                F#m 
I'd give it all up 
                E 
I'd give it all up 
                D 
I'd give it all up 
              A 
To have you around 

Bridge 
                E 
College took us away 
                        D 
Careers, marriage, some kids, a dog 
                    E                   A 
A picket fence, and houses fifty miles apart 
                       E 
I thought that I'd be okay 
                D 
With where I am today 
                    F#m                           E 
But rules exist for everything but matters of the heart 


[Refrão]

                F#m 
I'd give it all up 
                E 
I'd give it all up 
                D 
I'd give it all up 
                F#m 
I'd give it all up 
                E 
I'd give it all up 
                D 
I'd give it all up 

To hold you again

Again
