Verse 2:
I brought to you my tired clothes and weary faith to you
And with a smile you took me in and showed me love again
Now it has to be to say good-bye or stay and I don't know
But remember please I gave you love that's only mine to give
(chorus)
Verse 3:
Yes, I truly love to be with you
If I wasn't with the one that I'm with.
Yes, I truly love to lie by you
If I didn't have to give what I give.
(chorus)
(repeat verse 2)
(chorus, after final riff end on an A)
****
The guitar is fingerpicked, and sounds like barre chords,
especially for the chorus.
Listen to the song, and you'll know what I mean
