C              G    F                     C           G
time & all you gave i was the jerk who preferred the sea 
   C               G
to tussling in the waves 
F                           C               G
tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please 

Chorus:
    Am        G    F                              C      G
but now i see love tracked on the floor where you walked outside 
Am        G    F                       C            G
now i see love looking for you in this other girl's eyes 

Verse:
time & all you took only my freedom to fuck the whole world 
promising not to look promising light on the sidewalk girls 

but now i see love there in your car where i said those things 
now i see love tugging your skirt, singing please, please, please

Verse:
time & all you gave there on your cross that i never saw 
well beyond the waves dunking my head when i heard you call 

Chorus:
but now i see love 
there in the scab where you pinched my leg 
now i see love 
there on your side of my empty bed
