F Bb C

[Chorus]
           F
I've got a lid
              Bb
I know how to use it
                     F
I've got a bucket of love
                    C
And I don't want to lose it
                        F
If someone comes around here
                Bb
Dippin' in, I refuse it
                 F  C            F
Cause I've got a lid, I've got a lid

[Verse 1]
C                                             F
I'm not willing for the good stuff filling my bucket to be taken
Bb              F
Away from me so easily
C                                                        F
So I start thinking 'bout the person who's sinking their dipper into my light
           G                                  C
And when I look in their eyes, I see an empty bucket inside. That's why...

[Chorus]
           F
I've got a lid
              Bb
I know how to use it
                     F
I've got a bucket of love
                    C
And I don't want to lose it
                        F
If someone comes around here
                Bb
Dippin' in, I refuse it
                 F  C            F
Cause I've got a lid, I've got a lid

[Verse 2]
C                                               F
The simple fact is, a person who dips has got a bucket that needs filling
          Bb                           F
When they dip they're tryin' to fill a hole inside 'em...  They think
        C                                          F
They're filling their bucket, but nothing could be further from the truth
        G                           C
It's so clear to see it's all about them not me. That's why...
              F
We've all got lids
                      Bb
We gotta learn how to use them
                           F
Cause we've got buckets of love
                     C
And we don't want to lose them
                        F
If someone comes around here
                 Bb
Dippin' in, we refuse them
                F   C
Cause we've got lids
              F
We've all got lids

[Chorus]
           F
I've got a lid
              Bb
I know how to use it
                     F
I've got a bucket of love
                    C
And I don't want to lose it
                        F
If someone comes around here
                Bb
Dippin' in, I refuse it
                 F  C            F
Cause I've got a lid, I've got a lid
