[Intro]
D  C  G     D  C  G     D  C  G


[Verse 1]
       D                                 G
Yea we talk too much, maybe we should be listening
        D                               G
And the brakes worn out on the human condition
Em            D/F#           G
All in all we let go when we can
Em                D/F#              G  A
Slow it down this just might be our chance


[Chorus]
      G                       D
Every night baby we should be dancing
      A                   Bm
Every old chain breaking away
         G                    D
We got a long life but we got good love
         A                     D
We got a short time to give it away
         G D           F#7 Bm
Give it away, give it away
         G                    D
We got a long life but we got good love
         A                      Bm A D  G     Bm A D A  G
We got a short time to give it away


[Verse 2]
                  D                                     G
Take a sip of the sadness of the world and you're gonna feel it
                   D                                    G
Take a swim in the goodness all around and you're gonna keep it
Em             D                 G
Plant yourself somewhere you can grow
    Em                   D              G A
And share a little light everywhere you go


[Chorus]
      G                       D
Every night baby we should be dancing
      A                   Bm
Every old chain breaking away
         G                    D
We got a long life but we got good love
         A                     D
We got a short time to give it away
         G D           F#7 Bm
Give it away, give it away
         G                    D
We got a long life but we got good love
         A
We got a short time to give it away
D               A
Aw now give it away
