WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR LOVE TO ME
Kevin Gilbert

INTRO:
G  D/F#  Em7  A

VERSE 1:
G
I've been thinking about this
D/F#
For the last three days
Em7
I don't think that I'm deluding myself
A
I don't think that this is just a phase

VERSE 2:
G
And I don't mean to shock you
D/F#
I hope that I'm not rushin' in
Em7
But I think that this is kindof important
A
And I don't know exactly where to begin

CHORUS 1:
C        G               D        G
My whole life has been a constant ailment
C          G      D
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       G           D
And be assured I'll act responsibly
C             G              D        G
I'll treat it like a work of rare and priceless art
C        G         D       G
When you give your love to me

VERSE 3:
G
So how's about it girlfriend?
D/F#
Am I gonna have to twist your arm?
Em7
Perhaps it's not the most original concept
A
But it has a kind of timeless charm

CHORUS 2:
C               G            D           G
You'll have the little birds flying all around your head
C          G       D
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     G         D
Every word will rhyme easily
C            G               D           G
And all your friends will be genuinely supportive
C        G         D       G
When you give your love to me

VERSE 4:
G
I'm sick of hearing about sadness
D/F#
I'm sick of violent crime
Em7
I'm sick of angry militant lesbian feminists
A
I'm sick of imperfect rhyme

CHORUS 3:
C           G                    D         G
I've always heard that we should love one another
C          G     D
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               G    D
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          G        D
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
