For A Short Time

capo on 2nd Fret
C    G                 Am        F       G       C
Some times you can say more in a drunken hour or so
          G           Am         F       G     C
Than some people get across in a life of lying low
    G                  Am           F       G      C
Sometimes you can feel more for someone you barely kissed
          G             Am           F      G        C
You don't see it at the time and 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      C
And you recall the colour of her 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                                 G
Somewhere the tear is falling in your mind
      F G   C
For a short time
-------------------- 


          G             Am          F     G        C
There's a photo of your gang on the night she hung about
         G              Am           F          G      C
And your looking like a wag got your fat tongue poking out
          G                Am             F        G  C
But she's no-where to been seen you won't spot her anywhere
       G                Am               F       G           C
It was her who took the picture 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             Am             F     G
Or a bit less than a weekend is it shorter than a year
          C                G                 Am              F      G
Is it the time it takes to not complete your business with a person
       C                  G             Am       F       G    C
With a friend you make it transit, to a daughter held so dear

Chorus

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

Chorus
