G  D/F#  Em  A

G                            D/F#

I've been thinking about this for the last three days

Em  

I don't think that I'm deluding myself

A 

I don't think that this is just a phase

G

And I don't mean to shock you

D/F#

I hope that I'm not rushing in

Em

But I think that this is kinda important

A 

And I don't know exactly where to begin.

C         G               D        G

My whole life has been a constant ailment

C          D     G     rest 4beats

You can provide a simple remedy

C         G               D       G

Yeah, I'm gonna show some vast improvement

C        G         D        G

When you give your love to me.

C           G                D        G

And you can trust that I'm a worthy recipient

C           D        G    rest 4beats

And be assured I'll act responsibly.

C             G      D         G

I'll treat it like a rare and priceless art

C        G          D 

When you give your love to me.

G  

So hows about it girlfriend?

D/F#

Am I gonna have to twist your arm?

Em

Perhaps it's not the most original concept

A

But it has a kind of timeless charm.

C               G             D        G

You'll have the little birds flying all around your head

C           D     G    rest 4beats

And you'll gaze at me dreamily.

C         G                     D        G

Yeah, the whole world's gonna smile and wave

C         G        D        G

When you give your love to me.

C         G               D        G

And I will write you a hundred sonnets,

C           D        G    rest 4beats

Every word will rhyme easily.

C         G               D        G

And all your friends will be generally supportive

C           G        D

When you give your love to me.

G

I'm sick of hearing about sadness.

D/F#

I'm sick of violent crime.

Em

I'm sick of angry militant lesbian feminists.

A

I'm sick of imperfect rhyme.

C         G               D        G

I've always heard that we should love one another

C           D        G    rest 4beats

And what a fine example we would be.

C         G               D        G

Maybe we can start a trend or something

C         G        D        G

When you give your love to me.

C         G               D        G

And maybe we can get our friends together

C           D        G    rest 4beats

And they'll all get along famously.

C         G               D        G

I think that everyone will feel much better

C         G        D        G

When you give your love to me.

C         G               D        G

There'll be global peace and religious tolerance.

C           D        G    rest 4beats

All men as brothers in a world that's free.

C         G               D        G

There'll be a perfect cosmic harmonic convergence

C         G        D        G

When you give your love to me.
