Verse 1:
G+G
Geneve -
        E minorEm
Take her to yourself
A minorAm         D MajorD
Watch her while she rests
          G+G
She talks of you as home
G+G             E minorEm
I'll try to get to her somehow
   A minorAm        D MajorD               G+G
While in your arms she lies, I hope she will not feel alone
  G+G              C majorC
And I, for the many things I've done
   G+G         D MajorD
Carry on - and play the same songs
   C majorC       E minorEm            D MajorD
Cause I never knew a better way of lovin' - do you?

Bridge:
      G+G        E minorEm
For she is so young, and my dreams
   C majorC                       G+G
Will see me playing for the screaming ladies of Los Angeles
     C majorC             G+G      E minorEm
And when I decided that would be my stage, I was her age,
  A minorAm         C majorC        G+G    D MajorD   Dsus2Dsus2   D MajorD
I remember that was a tender time for me


Verse 2:
G+G
Geneve -
         E minorEm
Easter's been and gone,
  A minorAm          D MajorD
And fate has played it's hand,
        G+G
And I am on my own -
  G+G               E minorEm
But warm is the hand that holds my arm
  A minorAm       D MajorD            G+G
And always leads me on, so I never can stay long -
  G+G            C majorC
So smile, I'll see you in a while
          G+G         D MajorD
As a tourist and a child - but not a loser,
  C majorC         E minorEm        D MajorD
For you knew love is a very much harder thing to have


Bridge:
     G+G           E minorEm
For I am still young, and it's true
    C majorC                      G+G
That I don't forget and I don't regret and I ain't going to,
     C majorC              G+G          E minorEm
And as I wipe away all the traces of Lisa blues, it is my shoes
   A minorAm       C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
That walk across the stage for the applause


Outro:
G+G
Geneve -
        E minorEm
Take her to yourself,
  A minorAm         D MajorD
And watch her while she rests
              G+G    C majorC   G+G
'Cause she talks of you as home
