Chords

[Verse 1]
Bbmaj7
It was your birthday, yesterday

                          Gm7
I gave a gift that almost took your breath away

                            Abmaj7
But, to be honest, I nearly left it on the train

                        Bbmaj7

[Verse 2]
[tab]            Bbmaj7
You talk forever on the phone

                           Gm7
To your mother and with my thoughts I'm left alone

                          Abmaj7
Now and then I think how strange our love has grown

                          Bbmaj7
For your lover, give some time
[Chorus]
               Cm7
I will give up these cigarettes

                           Bbmaj7
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress

                             Adim
Have your name in a rose tattooed across my chest

                       Gm7
And be your lover for all time

              Cm7
Maybe I will drink a little less

                           Bbmaj7
Come home early and not complain about the death

                              Adim
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then

                Bbmaj7
For your lover, give some time
[Interlude] Bbmaj7 Abmaj7 Bbmaj7 [Verse 3]
             Bbmaj7
I think of places that I've seen

                            Gm7
A skipping stone across the ocean I have been

                             Abmaj7
A rootless man with no one else to share my dreams

                    Bbmaj7
And, for my lover, gave no time
[Verse 4]
          Bbmaj7
Here's a toast to you, Helene

                      Gm7
To all the cinemas we ran in from the rain

                             Abmaj7
Laughing, clutching, soaking newspapers to your face

                           Bbmaj7
Then, for your love, you gave some time
[Outro]
            Cm7
I will give up these cigarettes

                           Bbmaj7
Stay at home and watch you mend the tears in your dress

                       Adim
Have your name in rose tattooed across my chest

                         Gm7
And be your lover for all time

             Cm7
Maybe I will drink a little less

                        Bbmaj7
Come home early and not complain about the death

                              F7
And give you flowers from the graveyard now and then

                       Cm
And, for my lover, give some time

                          Bbmaj7
For your lover, give some time
