Verse:
C majorC       G+G  FF           C majorC      G+G
time & all you gave i was the jerk who preferred the sea
  C majorC        G+G
to tussling in the waves
FF              C majorC        G+G
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please

Chorus:
  A minorAm    G+G  FF               C majorC   G+G
but now i see love tracked on the floor where you walked outside
A minorAm    G+G  FF            C majorC      G+G
now i see love looking for you in this other girl's eyes

Verse:
time & all you took only my freedom to fuck the whole world
promising not to look promising light on the sidewalk girls

but now i see love there in your car where i said those things
now i see love tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please

Verse:
time & all you gave there on your cross that i never saw
well beyond the waves dunking my head when i heard you call

Chorus:
but now i see love
there in the scab where you pinched my leg
now i see love
there on your side of my empty bed
