I can give you anything but love

[G]             [Em]

You put your love upon me

[C]                  [D]

Though I was but poor

[G]We lived a twisted little fa[Em]iry story

[C]Up on the 5th F[D]loor

[G]                                  [G7]

I said you can have my love for a song all right

[C]                            [Cm]

But don’t hold it up to the light

[G]                   [C]                   [D]

Oh loveless

[G]                       [D7]

My loveless love

[G]I can’t give you an[F#7]ything but l[F]ove        [E7]
(Love for loves own sake)

[A7]           [D7]            [G]

It’s like a message from above
(All the love we make)

[G]          [F#7]         [F]                 [E7]

Watch out for those foreign girls
(They never seem to make much sense)

[A7]            [D7]              [G]

Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(We’ll leave all life’s pretence)

[G]                     [Em]

Don’t you walk down lonely streets

[C]                 [D]

Under darkened skies

[G]                         [Em]

Come on up with me to my lonely retreat

[C]                  [D]

I will sing you lullabies

[G]                      [G7]

We string it up and string it along

[C]                    [Cm]

And listen to those old time songs

[G]                   [C]                   [D]

And make believe

[G]                    [D7]

that they were written for you and me

[G]                  [F#7]         [F]          [E7]

I can give you anything but love
(Love for loves own sake)

[A7]           [D7]            [G]

It’s like a message from above
(All the love we make)

[G]                  [F#7]         [F]          [E7]

Watch out for those foreign girls
(They never seem to make much sense)

[A7]           [D7]            [G]

Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(We’ll leave all life’s pretence)

              [G]

If you still love me

[Cm]

By morning

[G]                 [Cm]              [G]

Oh you’ll find me waiting in the garden

          [Cm]                          [G]           [Cm]

By the cherry blossom tree

            [G]              [Cm]

Bring tin cups of wine and cigarettes

[G]              [Cm]

Come to me in pirouettes

[G]

My darling

[Cm]                      [G]                  [C]

Save all your love for me

[G]                  [F#7]         [F]          [E7]

I can’t give you anything but love
(Love for loves own sake)

[A7]           [D7]            [G]

It came like a message from above
(All the love we make)

[G]                  [F#7]         [F]          [E7]

You watch out for those modern girls
(Who never seem to make much sense)

[A7]           [D7]               [G]

Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(In a world of innocence)

[G]                  [F#7]         [F]          [E7]

I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams
(If you tell me that you will)

[A7]                [D7]          [G]

I’ve seen those dirty magazines
(And I got my cheap thrills)

[G]               [F#7]           [F]          [E7]

I can’t give you anything but love

[A7]              [D7]

Was that that sweet old song

[G]

That you sung when I held you in my arms

[G]               [F#7]           [F]          [E7]

I can give you anything but love

 [A]              [D]             [G]

I can give you anything but love
