C F Am
This red-haired girl of mine tore a pinecone from the pine
F Am C G
To cut into her palm, singing the song her sinking lover sung
C F Am
I shut my eyes, ripped the train from off the line
F Am C G
But a sudden gust of snow blew through a hole in my girl's clothes
[Bridge]
F C
Well, my girl knows she's not all right
G
And I don't mind
F G F
Just give me time, baby, give me time. Oh baby,
C C6 C C6 C C6
baby give me time.
[Verse 2]
C F Am F Am
Her stinging eyes, and her sixteen-hour drive, and our shared, transparent rope
C G
And our icy dive through hope
C F Am
I'll memorize, and I'll cut into my mind
F Am
I can't believe it can be so
C G
I won't believe that my girl froze
[Bridge]
F C G
Well, my girl knows I'm coiled tight and green inside
F G
Just give me time, baby, give me time
[Verse 3]
F C
And that weight you hold, it's getting light
G F
And, love, I know you'll raise it easily up high
G F
Just give it time, just give it time
[Outro]
G F
Baby give me time. Oh, baby,
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C F
Just give me time, just give me ti- i- ime.
