CFAm
This red-haired girl of mine tore a pinecone from the pine
FAmCG
To cut into her palm, singing the song her sinking lover sung
CFAm
I shut my eyes, ripped the train from off the line
FAmCG
But a sudden gust of snow blew through a hole in my girl's clothes
[Bridge]
FC
Well, my girl knows she's not all right
G
And I don't mind
FGF
Just give me time, baby, give me time. Oh baby,
CC6CC6CC6
baby give me time.
[Verse 2]
CFAmFAm
Her stinging eyes, and her sixteen-hour drive, and our shared, transparent rope
CG
And our icy dive through hope
CFAm
I'll memorize, and I'll cut into my mind
FAm
I can't believe it can be so
CG
I won't believe that my girl froze
[Bridge]
FCG
Well, my girl knows I'm coiled tight and green inside
FG
Just give me time, baby, give me time
[Verse 3]
FC
And that weight you hold, it's getting light
GF
And, love, I know you'll raise it easily up high
GF
Just give it time, just give it time
[Outro]
GF
Baby give me time. Oh, baby,
CCadd9CCadd9CCadd9CF
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
CCadd9CCadd9CCadd9CF
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
CCadd9CCadd9CCadd9CF
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
CCadd9CCadd9CCadd9CF
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
