Full measure

G ~ ~

C D G - C D G

1. The full measure of your giving, you don´t yet understand,

C D G - Am D

a cupful of living that you hold in your hand.

C D G - C D G

2. The full weight of your loving makes me lighter than air,

C D G Am D G

the tax I´m receiving, now I know that it never was there.

G G7

It started off just stickin´around,

G G7

to get that wonderful feeling from you,

G D

now there´s finally someone telling me, I can really give, too !

C D G

3. I know you know the feeling,

C D G

that getting something for nothing is wrong,

C D G - Am D G

getting love is so easy, giving love takes so long.

+ CHORUS G ~ ~

C D G - C D G

4. I´ve heard them say it at Christmas, now I can say it to you,

C D G Am D G

the feeling of giving is as good as I´m getting from you.

Am D G

It´s as good as I´m getting from you. (3x)

Am - D G

Aha ha ha (2x) …
