For your lover, give some time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It [G]was your birthday yesterday
I gave a gift that almost took
your [Em]breath [G]away[Em]
But to be honest, I nearly [F]left it on the train
For your lover give some [G]time

[Verse 2]
You talk [G]forever on the phone
To your mother and with my
thoughts [Em]I'm left [G]alone
Now and then I think how
[F]strange our love has grown
For your lover give some [G]time
I will give [Am]up these cigarettes
Stay at home and watch you [G]mend
a tear in your dress
Have your name in a rose
[F#dim]tattooed across my chest
And be [Am]your lover for all [Em]time[D]
[G]Maybe I w[D]ill drin[Am]k a little less
Come home early and not
[D]com[G]plain about the day
And give you flowers from the
[F#dim]graveyard now and then
For your lover give some
[G]time

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
I think of [G]places that I've seen
A skipping stone across the
[Em]ocean I have [G]been[Em]
[G]A rootless man with no one els[F]e
to share my dreams
And for my [Am]lover gave [G]no time
Here's a toast to you, Helene
To all the cinemas we ran in from [Em]the rain
[G]Laughing, clutching soaking
[F]newspapers to your face
And for your love you gave [G]some time
I will give [Am]up these cigarettes
Stay at [F]home and watch [G]you mend
the tears in your dress
Have your name in a rose
[F#dim]tattooed across my chest
And be your lover [Am]for [Em]all time[D]
[Em]Maybe [D]I will d[Am]rink a little less
Come home early and [F#dim]not compl[G]ain
about [Em]the day
And give you flowers from the
[Am]graveyard now [D]and then
And for [F#dim]my lover give some [Am]time
[Adim]For your lov[B]er give [G]some time
