[Verse 1]
Am                                                                  F
 I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
                Am                                                         F
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it
                 Am                                                        F
You can speak of anger and doubts, your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it
                             Am
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life 
           F
and I won't judge it (And there are no strings attached to it)
 
[Chorus 1]
           Am
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
                                     G          Am
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
           Am
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
    G                       Am
And you owe me nothing in return
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                                                   F
 You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
                Am                                                F
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
               Am                                                     F
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
                 Am                                                    F
You can ask for anything you want, anything at all and I'll understand it
(And there are no strings attached to it)
 
[Chorus 2]
           Am
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
                                     G          Am
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
           Am
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
    G                       Am
And you owe me nothing in return
 
[Bridge]
                       C                     G/B                  Am
I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
                       C                     G/B                          Am
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
                    C                       G/B                    Am
I bet you'll wonder how far you have now danced your way back into debt
                         C                  G/B                    Am
This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is
 
[Verse 3]
Am
 You can express your deepest of truths, even if it means I'll lose you, 
              F
and I'll hear it
             Am                                                 F
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss, I'll empathize with
                 Am
You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion 
              F
and I'll hear it, 
             Am
You can even hit rock bottom, have a mid-life crisis, 
              F
and I'll hold it (And there are no strings attached)
 
[Chorus 3]
           Am
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
                                     G          Am
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
           Am
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
    G                       Am
And you owe me nothing in return
           Am
You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
                                     G          Am
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
           Am
I give you thanks for receiving, it's my privilege
    G                       Am
And you owe me nothing in return
 
[Outro]
   Am                                                          G    Am
