C      G       D


Verse 1:
G
Geneve -
                Em
Take her to yourself
Am                  D
Watch her while she rests
                    G
She talks of you as home
G                          Em
I'll try to get to her somehow
      Am               D                              G
While in your arms she lies, I hope she will not feel alone
    G                           C
And I, for the many things I've done
      G                 D
Carry on - and play the same songs
      C              Em                        D
Cause I never knew a better way of lovin' - do you?
Bridge:
           G                Em
For she is so young, and my dreams
     C                                              G
Will see me playing for the screaming ladies of Los Angeles
         C                          G            Em
And when I decided that would be my stage, I was her age,
   Am                 C               G       D     Dsus2     D
I remember that was a tender time for me


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


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


Outro:
G
Geneve -
                Em
Take her to yourself,
    Am                  D
And watch her while she rests
                           G       C      G
'Cause she talks of you as home
