Chords for Elvis Costello & The Imposters - He's Given Me Things (Official Audio)

_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] He's given me things [Bb] you [Gm] never would have [Eb] and if you did you'd [C] want them back
For [Dm] giving me things [Gm] I didn't know that [Bb]
I had done
But just [Ab] faded to black
[Cm] He's given me time [Ab] and consolation
[Cm] Some [C] verses to read [F] and lines [Dm] to say I will stay
_ [Gm] Here for a while now
[Cm] He [Bb] calls me child now
[F] _ But [Bb] it works that way
[C] _ _ He's given me [D]
things
[Gm] You couldn't guess at [Eb] I don't mean jewels
[C] Although they were fine [Dm] a way to depart one [Gm] way to enter
a [Eb] right to dismiss
[Ab] upon a win
When [Cm] I close the door
[Ab] And you're supposing [Cm] I kick up my [F] heels and then I scream
_ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] Why was I chosen you'll [C] never know
_ [F] _ _
What I [Bb] give to you
_ [C] _ _ [Bb] He's given me things
[C] You never thought [F] of
Because they were not [G] yours to [F] give
So [Em] take this [F] man and [C] _
[Am] tranquilize and roll [F] your eyes _ _ _
Not [G] the customers wise
_ _ He's forgiven [D] me trials [Gm] in tears and [Eb] tantrums and even all
[Cm] my false alarms
[Dm] He sat there refused while [Gm] I was crying and [Eb] just seemed to sigh
But that's what [Ab] money can buy [Cm] and now I know why [Ab] I come back to [Cm] him
And now I know [Bb] why
You live do
_ _ [Dm]
You [Gm] have the words one
[Cm] You are so [Bb] many
_ [C] And we [G] are so few
[C] _ _
[D] So cover the canvas [Dm] if you leave them visible in the hallway
To [D] wash your hands
If the water runs black, [Gm] please leave [G] some
Step [Dm] past the glass and never come [Am] back
And [Dm] _ _ [Gm] you can see me
[Eb] Yes, you can look [C] but you can't touch
[Dm] Cuz you don't belong
The [Gm] air is thin here.
[Eb] You may [Ab] fixate my
_ [Cm] _ _ [Ab] But you should hold me oh, [Cm] please you must hold me as if I were
_ [Dm] _ To [Gm] think you were excited [Cm]
when love was frightening
_ _ [C] But I [Gm] was so young
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] He's given me things
[Gm] You never dreamed [Dm] of where hopes are dashed and [Gm] trashed
[Dm] Praised he has an awful [Gm] lot of money
[Dm] The past can be bought
[Gm] _ _ then
[Dm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
