For Your Lover Give Some Time Chords by Richard Hawley

It was your birthday yesterday _
_ _ _ I gave a gift that [F#m]
almost took your [A] breath away _ _ _
But to be honest, I [G] nearly left it on the train
_ _ _ _ For your lover, [A] give some _ time _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You talk forever on the phone _ _ _ _
To your mother, and [F#m] with my thoughts [A] I'm left alone
_ _ _ Now and then I [G] think how strange our love has grown
_ _ _ For your lover, give [A] some time
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [A] I will [Bm] give up these [B] cigarettes
_ [Bm] _ _ Stay at home and watch [A] you and the tears in your dress
_ _ Have your name in a [G#] rose tattooed across my chest _ _
And be your lover for [F#m] all time
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] Maybe I [Bm] will drink a little _ _ less
_ _ Come home early and not [A]
complain about the debts _ _ _
And give you flowers [G#] from the graveyard now and then
_ _ For your lover, [A] give some time _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I think of places that I've seen
_ A skipping stone across the ocean I have been
A _ _ rootless man with [G] no one else to share my dream _ _
And for my lover, [A] gave no time
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Here's a toast to you, Helene
_ _ _ To all the cinemas we ran in from the rain _ _ _
_ Laughing, clutching, [G] soaking newspapers to your face
_ _ Then for your love, [A] you gave some time _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ I [Bm] will give up these cigarettes _ _ _
Stay at home and watch [A] you and the tears in your dress
_ _ Have your name in a [G#] rose tattooed across my chest
_ _ And be your lover for [F#m] all time
_ _ _ _ [F#] _
Maybe [E] I [Bm] will drink a little _ less
_ _ Come home early and not [A] complain about the debts
_ [F#m] _ _ And give you flowers from [Bm] the graveyard now and then
_ [E] _
And for my lover, give some time
