You can give, you can take

Darling, there was a time

G 
Em 
C 
F#dim 
when I   just lingered on
G 
C 
Every day, hoping you would change
D 
G 
C 
your way and be mine at long
G 
C 
But you just don't care,
even let me see you
F#dim 
G 
C 
with your other man
F 
G 
Without a conscience
C 
or a principle,
G 
C 
without respect or understanding
G 
D 
But yet the other night,
C 
you acted so surprised
G 
D 
When you saw me with another girl,
C 
you couldn't believe your eyes
G 
D 
You started performing
C 
as if you loved me so
G 
D

C 
When it was only your pride I  know

like I knew you would
F

That a sip of your own medicine,
G 
it don't taste so good
You can't hear, you can't take
C 
G 
C 
You can't hear, you can't take

Oh my darling, my darling,
C 
my darling, my darling

In spite of all that has gone down

Deep down inside, I really, I really,
C 
I  really love you

G 
C 
No sweeter love have I found
G 
D 
C 
Oh, even though I love you so
G 
D 
C 
There's only so much that I can stand
G 
D 
If you don't want to see
C 
me with another girl
G 
Then you better get rid
D 
C 
of your other man now
Em 
Now there's no question
C 
about where you stand
Em 
C 
As long as you respect me as a man
D

Oh, you can give, but you can't take
