Frente! - "Not Given Lightly" (from the EP "Labour Of Love")
I think this is a cover tune, but it is so lovely they could
have written it themselves. It is very beautiful.
B G#
Hello my friend
E F#
It's morning, time to wake now
B G#
In body in mind
E F#
In twined will have to break now
B G#
But I need your flesh
E F#
Your warmth to stay beside me
B G# E
Oh how I wish you could be
F#
Deep inside me
B G#
Show me your eyes
E F#
Your low most tender feelings
B G#
And I'll give you mine
E F#
Be truthful and revealing
B
And it's you that I love
A
And it's true that I love
E F#
And it's love not given lightly
B
But I knew that it's love
A
And it's you that I love
E F#
And it's more than what it might be
D# --3----|
A# ----3--|
B G#
When we're alone
E F#
I cannot always face you
B G#
Maybe my mood
E F#
Will let these arms embrace you
B G#
But that doesn't mean
E F#
My love's somewhat diminished
B G#
Give me the time
E F#
To show our love's unfinished
(repeat chorus)
C# E F#
And every word I say is true
B G#
What can I say
E F#
The words destroy all meanings
B G#
There's only cliches
E F#
To get across this feeling
low D# -8\-- A# -1-1-1-1---|
F# --0-0-0-0--|
B G#
This is a love song
E F#
For John and Desha's mother
B G#
This isn't easy
E F#
I might not write another
(repeat chorus x2)
