==INTRO==
GFAm
==VERSE==
G
Communication. I wait to see if we could ever get together and talk like we used to
FAm
We get together and we talk like we used to, but you don't want to
G
You want a separation and now that's strike three
FAm
I tried everything, I work so hard for you to constantly hear how I fail and abandon you
CDm
I put my heart in a dream (my heart)
G
And now that dream, it makes sure the baby
F
She has food to eat, and your fancy house gets paid for you hear me?
CDm
You never learned one thing, no, you never believed in me...
GF
So if you're gonna leave, get out. Just remember this is what I'm all about:
==CHORUS==
Dm
I do it for the love, I do it for the rain,
C
I do it for the passion, I do it for the pain
Bb
I do it for the rush, I do it for the doubt...
AmF
I do it for my daughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm about
Dm
I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad
C
Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
Bb
I do it for the audience who understands the need
F
Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
==POST-CHORUS==
(F)
So pack it up, pack it in - Write it up, write it down
Just remember that I've told you it's what I'm all about
==VERSE==
G
I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
F
An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze (You've gotta be kidding me)
G
How hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong,
FAm
You bury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bomb.
CDm
I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born
GFC
And I never knew what words to say that could get us through our first chance at divorce
(C) Dm
You promised change and I believed
GF
I walked right back into the same, so if you're gonna leave, yeah ? go away!

I do it for my brother, I do it for his wife
C
I do it for my manager, 'cause god he saved my life
Bb
I do it for the confidence, I do it for release

I do it 'cause I'm sick of being sad, it's war and peace

I did it for you, for you over and over and over again
