(Verse)
You only (D)come around here when you need a shoulder to (G)cry on
You (A)lost another love and Ifm the only one you re-(D)ly on
(D)Ifll be a friend when your heart is battered and (G)reeling
But you (A)got to understand that love is more than a (D)feeling

(Chorus)
So, honey, (D)take a break, you canft (G)take anymore
You canft (A)take the cake, but whofs (D)keeping score?
If you (D)love yourself and (G)give a little ground
(A)Give it all away, itfll (D)come back around

(Verse)
(D)Giving and taking, sounds so basic and (G)simple
Theyfre (A)not what they seem when youfre trying to light lovefs (D)candle
If you (D)give more than you take, you wonft ever run out of (G)nothing
Lovefll (A)fill you up, spilling from your cup over-(D)running

(Chorus)
So, honey, (D)take a break, you canft (G)take anymore
You canft (A)take the cake, but whofs (D)keeping score?
If you (D)love yourself and (G)give a little ground
If you (A)give it all away, itfll (D)come back around

(Verse)
I know you (D)work real hard, youfve earned everything that you (G)got now
Lost your (A)peace of mind, or maybe just simply for-(D)get how
eCause when youfre (D)always taking, you think everybodyfs out to (G)get ya
But if you (A)give it all up, youfre a river to your people for-(D)ever

(Chorus)
So honey, (D)take a break, you canft (G)take anymore
You can (A)take the cake, but whofs (D)keeping the score?
If you (D)love yourself, (G)spread it all around
And (A)give it all away, itfll (D)come back around

(Chorus)
So, honey, (D)take a break, you canft (G)take anymore
You canft (A)take the cake, but whofs (D)keeping score?
If you (D)love yourself, (G)spread it all around
Gotta (A)give it all away, itfll (D)come back around

(Outro.)
Yeah, you (A)give it all away, itfll (D)come back around
Yeah (A) / / / |(A) / / / |(D) - - - - -
