Tom: F
F
If I was in it for the money
F
I'd have a mansion on a hill by now
Bb
If I was in it for milk and honey
Bb
I'd have honeybees and a cow
F
If I was in it for the fame
Bb
You'd already know my name
F C F
I've only ever been in it for the love
[Verse 2]
F
I was born to make a loud noise
F
A six-string Troubadour
Bb
Like a kid who thinks he's a cowboy
Bb
With a cap, gun, and carousel horse
F
I keep runnin' down my dream
Bb
It runs in my bloodstream
F C F
I've only ever been in it for the love (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Bb F
Love can't fill your tank or pay your rent
Bb C
Oh, but love's the only reason it makes sense
F
If you can't put your heart into it
Bb
For the love of God, don't do it
F C F
If you're in it, you bettеr be in it for the love (Yеah)
[Verse 3]
F
Now, daddy was a rock 'n' roll drummer
F
Who suffered in a suit and tie
Bb
Yeah, that bank job did a number
Bb
It drained his spirit dry
F
He said, "Listen, son, learn from me
Bb
Oh, the money ain't everything"
F C F
So I've only ever been in it for the love (That's right)
[Chorus]
Bb F
Love can't fill your tank or pay your rent
Bb C
Oh, but love's the only reason it makes sense
F
If you can't put your heart into it
Bb
For the love of God, don't do it
F C F
If you're in it, you bettеr be in it for the love (Here we go)
[Instrumental Break]
Bb F Bb C F
[Outro]
F
Well, I'm far from makin' a fortune
F
But I do pretty good for myself
Bb
And I know what's most important
Bb
I got my family, and I got my health
F Bb
I keep my main objective on keepin' a good perspective
F C F
I'm in it, yeah, I'm in it for the love (That's right)
F
If I was in it for the fame
Bb
You'd already know my name
F C F
But I've only ever been in it for the love
C F
Mm-mm
