A                 D           G
I can give you anything but love

G             Em
You put your love upon me
C                  D
Though I was but poor
G                           Em
We lived a twisted little fairy story
C              D
Up on the 5th Floor
G                                  G7
I said you can have my love for a song all right
C                            Cm
But don’t hold it up to the light
G                   C                   D
Oh loveless
G                       D7
My loveless love
G                  F#7         F          E7
I can’t give you anything but love
(Love for loves own sake)
A7           D7            G
It’s like a message from above
(All the love we make)
G          F#7         F                 E7
Watch out for those foreign girls
(They never seem to make much sense)
A7            D7              G
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(We’ll leave all life’s pretence)
G                     Em
Don’t you walk down lonely streets
C                 D
Under darkened skies
G                         Em
Come on up with me to my lonely retreat
C                  D
I will sing you lullabies
G                      G7
We string it up and string it along
C                    Cm
And listen to those old time songs
G                   C                   D
And make believe
G                    D7
that they were written for you and me
G                  F#7         F          E7
I can give you anything but love
(Love for loves own sake)
A7           D7            G
It’s like a message from above
(All the love we make)
G                  F#7         F          E7
Watch out for those foreign girls
(They never seem to make much sense)
A7           D7            G
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(We’ll leave all life’s pretence)
              G
If you still love me
Cm
By morning
G                 Cm              G
Oh you’ll find me waiting in the garden
          Cm                          G           Cm
By the cherry blossom tree
            G              Cm
Bring tin cups of wine and cigarettes
G              Cm
Come to me in pirouettes
G
My darling
Cm                      G                  C
Save all your love for me
G                  F#7         F          E7
I can’t give you anything but love
(Love for loves own sake)
A7           D7            G
It came like a message from above
(All the love we make)
G                  F#7         F          E7
You watch out for those modern girls
(Who never seem to make much sense)
A7           D7               G
Mistake my plastic beads for pearls
(In a world of innocence)
G                  F#7         F          E7
I will sing you lullabies in all your dreams
(If you tell me that you will)
A7                D7          G
I’ve seen those dirty magazines
(And I got my cheap thrills)
G               F#7           F          E7
I can’t give you anything but love
A7              D7
Was that that sweet old song
G
That you sung when I held you in my arms
G               F#7           F          E7
I can give you anything but love
 A              D             G
