Tuning: EbAbDbGbBbeb (Half step down)
Verse:
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 f**k 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
Solo:( Banjo arranged for guitar)

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
:Finish with first part of SOLO, twice:
