For A Short Time

capo on 2nd Fret
C    G                 Am        
Some times you can say more in a 
F       G       C
drunken hour or so
          G           Am         
Than some people get across in a 
F       G     C
life of lying low
    G                  Am     
Sometimes you can feel more for 
      F       G      C
someone you barely kissed
          G             Am        
You don't see it at the time and 
   F      G        C
the moment that you missed




Refrão -------------
      G       Am
For a short time
        F        G
She was standing there
    C               G
And you saw her and she saw you
    Am             F      G      
And you recall the colour of her 
C
hair
      G      Am
For a long time

             F          G
You've never thought of her
     C                G
Then you hear she was gone for good
    Am                  F
You might of cried then if you could
      G
Would have looked foolish if you did
    F                           
Somewhere the tear is falling in 
      G
your mind
      F G   C
For a short time

-------------------- 


          G             Am        
There's a photo of your gang on 
  F     G        C
the night she hung about
         G              Am        
And your looking like a wag got 
   F          G      C
your fat tongue poking out
          G                Am     
But she's no-where to been seen 
        F        G  C
you won't spot her anywhere
       G                Am        
It was her who took the picture 
       F       G           C
you were looking straight at her

Chorus

N/C     C             G             
   Am              F      G
Tell me how long is a short time is 
it longer than two hours
     C               G             
Or a bit less than a weekend is it 
Am             F     G
shorter than a year
          C                G 
Is it the time it takes to not 
                Am              F 
complete your business with a 
     G
person
       C                  G       
With a friend you make it transit,
      Am       F       G    C
 to a daughter held so dear

Chorus

      G              Am      
Faces come and faces go in the 
  F      G        C
ragged life you lead
         G              Am    
You just file them all away you 
    F         G        C
recall them when you need
       G              Am      
When a file just disappears you 
    F       G    C
report it as a crime
            G                Am   
Against yourself against the world
       F G   C
 for a short time

Chorus
