G             Em

You put your love upon me

C                  D

Though I was but poor

G                           Em
We lived a twisted little fairy story

C              D
Up on the 5th Floor


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                  F#7         F          E7
I can’t 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                     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
