C F Am F Am
This red-haired girl of mine tore a pinecone from the pine, to cut into her palm,
C G
singing the song her sinking lover sung.
I shut my eyes, ripped the train from off the line, but a sudden gust of snow
blew through a hole in my girl's clothes.
F C G
Well, my girl knows shes not all right, and I dont mind.
F G F
Just give me time, baby, give me time. Oh baby,
C C6 C C6 C C6
baby give me time.
Her stinging eyes, and her sixteen-hour drive, and our shared, transparent rope,
and our icy dive through hope
Ill memorize, and Ill cut into my mind. I cant believe it can be so.
I wont believe that my girl froze.
Well, my girl knows Im coiled tight and green inside.
Just give me time, just give me time. Oh baby,
baby give me time.
F C
And that weight you hold, its getting light,
G F
and, love, I know youll raise it easily up high.
Just give it time, just give it time.
Baby give me time. Oh baby,
just give me time. Just give me time. 4x
