you give to me.

           G              G7

  'Cause you mean what you say.

                   C           Cm
  As I sometimes appear to be.

  And the pain goes to my head.

  A taste of that kind of love.

                 G      D        
  Someone who'll   hold onto our 
Em
hand,

      D           C      Em7    Am7
  And whisper: "I under--stand,

      D7      G            D   C   G
  And I still love you."
