==INTRO==
G   F   Am
==VERSE==
Communication. I wait to see if we could ever get together and Gtalk like we used to
We get together and we talk Flike we used to, but you donAm't want to
You want a separGation and now that's strike three
I tried everything, I work so Fhard for you to constaAmntly hear how I fail and abandon you
CI put my heart in a dream (my hDmeart)
And now that dream, it makes sure the Gbaby
She has food to eat, and your fFancy house gets paid for you hear me?
CYou never learned one tDmhing, no, you never believed in me...
GSo if you're gonna leave, get out. Just remeFmber this is what I'm all about:
==CHORUS==
I do it for the Dmlove, I do it for the rain,
I do it for the pCassion, I do it for the pain
I do it for the Bbrush, I do it for the doubt...
I do it for my dAmaughter, man, 'cause she's what I'm aFbout
I do it for my mDmom, I do it for my dad
Do it for my sanCity, it's hanging from a thread
I do it for the Bbaudience who understands the need
Standing on the Fstage, 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==
GI missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
An ex-boyfriend Fwas taking my place at our first Lamaze (You've gotta be kidding me)
GHow hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong,
You Fbury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bAmomb.
CI lived in a hotel room 'til the dDmay she was born
GAnd I never knew what words to say Fthat could get us through our first chance at divorCce
(C)                            Dm  
You promised change and I believed
I walked right back into the sameG, so if you're gonna leave, Fyeah ? go away!
==CHORUS==

I do it for my dAmaughter, man, 'cause she's whaFt I'm about
I do it for my mDmom, I do it for my dad
