Not Given Lightly

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
[C]Hello my [A]friend

It's [F]morning, time to [G]wake now

[C]In body in [A]mind

In [F]twined will have to [G]break now

[C]But I need your [A]flesh

Your [F]warmth to stay be[G]side me

[C]Oh how I [A]wish you [F]could be

Deep in[G]side me

[C]Show me your [A]eyes

Your [F]low most tender [G]feelings

[C]And I'll give you [A]mine

Be [F]truthful and re[G]vealing

And it's [C]you that I love

And it's [Bb]true that I love

And it's [F]love not given [G]lightly

But I [C]knew that it's love

And it's [Bb]you that I love

And it's [F]more than what it [G]might be

{sot}E --3----|
B ----3--|{eot}

[C]When we're a[A]lone

I [F]cannot always [G]face you

[C]Maybe my [A]mood

Will [F]let these arms em[G]brace you

[C]But that doesn't [A]mean

My [F]love's somewhat di[G]minished

[C]Give me the [A]time

To [F]show our love's un[G]finished

(repeat chorus)

[D]And every word I say is [F]tru[G]e

[C]What can I [A]say

The [F]words destroy all [G]meanings

[C]There's only cli[A]che's

To [F]get across this [G]feeling

low E -8\--  B -1-1-1-1---|
{sot}             G --0-0-0-0--|{eot}

[C]This is a [A]love song

For [F]John and Desha's [G]mother

[C]This isn't [A]easy

I [F]might not write a[G]nother

(repeat chorus 2x)
