      GIVE MY HEART TO YOU          Billy Ray Cyrus



D            G                  Em

I gave two teeth in a teenage brawl

D                  G             Em       D

For a girl whose name I can't re-call   Then we broke up

D            G                    Em

I gave them, me, to the football team

D              G                      Em     D 

Chasing that high school state champ dream   We almost won

G               A              Em

I gave junior college almost a year

        G                  D                Em               A

Then I gave a grey hound twenty bucks  And that's how I got here



CHORUS:

        G       D           G              D

I give all my money for a slice of daily bread

         G            D         G            A

I give forty honest hours to a boss I never met

        G               D           G            Bm

And I gave my soul to Jesus at the age of twenty two

     G                       Bm          G   Em   A   A7  D 

So there ain't much left to offer but I give my heart to you





D             G                  Em

I gave up a beard and a head of hair

D                G                       Em     D

To a boot camp corporal with a barber's chair  At camp LaJune

D             G                    Em

I gave Uncle Sam what he bargained for

D            G                    Em   D

Twenty-four months not a minute more   I just didn't fit in

G                           A              Em

Then I gave a high school friend of mine a call

         G          D                  Em           A

And we gave a body shop a try till we gave up last fall





Go to chorus, ending



ENDING:

     G                       Bm          G   Em   A   A7  D   

So there ain't much left to offer but I give my heart to you
