[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
For your lover, give some time
[Verse 2]
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
