Second Lovers Song Chords by Townes Van Zandt

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You're waking [C] next to me
[Dm] _ _ Tears flash [A] across the Sun
[Dm] _ You whisper [C] soft to me
[Dm] _
But I [G] ain't the only one
[Em] _
To breathe your [Am] yellow hair
_ [Em] _ _
Caress [Am] your bosom [Dm] fair
Do you think [Am] I really care?
[Dm] _ Do you think [G] it matters? _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ Or what do [C] your feelings mean? _
[Dm] Do you think [C] I'd [A] love you more?
[Dm] _
If you [C] stood pure and clean
_ [Dm] _
Of [G] those you'd known before
_ [Em] _
Would your words [Am] be sweeter than
_ [Em] _
upon
[Am] _ November's wind
[Dm] _ If you [Am] began again
_ [Dm] Could you [G] smile be softer? _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Would your eyes [Em] more brightly shine?
Would [Am] you laughter [G] be so tender?
_ [Am] _
_ If you'd [Em] been only mine [Am] for as long as you [G] remember
_ I _ _ _ [Dm] _ don't [C] want tears from you
[Dm] _ _ Don't [C] build your love on shame
[Dm] _ _ All that [C] we've done is through
_ [Dm] _ And all [G] we can do remains
_ [Em] _ My lady, [Am] can't you see?
_ [Em] _ I love [Am] not _
jealously
[Dm] _ But for [Am] all you are to me
_ [Dm] And all you'll be [G] tomorrow _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
