Give Me Shakespeare

G Em G D


[Verse 1]

G
I really love you for your mind,
Em
and I know that we're two of a kind.
G
I don't go straight for that 
physical bit,
D
it always turns out a one-way trip.
Em
But won't you come up to my room,
A
so we can discuss, say, Egyptian 
tombs,
D
or maybe just do a few little steps
D                                 
from one of our favourite Bolshoi 
D7
ballets.


[Chorus]

D7          G                    
Oh, give me Shakespeare instead 
              D
of long French kisses,
D       G                 C     
give me Mozart instead of 
     D
holding me tight,
D       G                  F    
give me Tolstoy instead of 
     D
girl-talk drivel,
G                  D
like 'Baby, it's alright'.
D       G                   
Give me Shakespeare instead of 
             D
moonlight flirting,
D       G                
give me Schubert instead of 
   C         D
Hollywood tears,
D       G                  F    
give me Bolshoi instead of 
     D
all-night hustle,
D       C                     D 
give me Henry Moore, Salvador 
                      G
Dali, and an evening at the opera !

[Verse 2]

G
I really love you as you are,
Em
and without make-up I think that 
you'll go far,
G
your clothes hide your figure 
beautifully,
D
it makes a lovely change, I mean 
that sincerely.
Em
I've got so much respect for you,
A
and I know that you've got respect 
for me, too,
D
so let's go and relax on my bed,
D                                
so we can confirm all that we've 
D7
said.

like 'Baby, it's alright'.

[Bridge]

A
Writing and painting, poetry and 
neurology,
D
those are just some of my favourite 
things.
Em
Gershwin and Schumann, Newton and 
Rasputin,
A                         D
those are just some of my favourite 
people.
