JACKSON BROWNE: CALL IT A LOAN
[Verse]
G C G
In the morning when I closed my eyes
C D G
you were sleeping in paradise.
G C G
And while the room was growing light
C D G
I was holding still with all my might.
[Chorus]
C D G C Am D G
Oh, oh, what if it's true, aah, what my heart says?
C D G C
Oh, oh, what'll I do?
G D G
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with?
[Verse]
G C G
You were meant to play your part
C D G
In the design of a desperate heart.
G C G
And while you gave your love to me
C D G
I was betting I was getting it free.
[Chorus]
C D G C Am D G
Oh, oh, if I'd only know, aah, what your heart costs.
C D G C
Oh, oh, can we call it a loan,
G D G
And a debt that I owe on a bet that I lost?
[Verse]
G C G
In the evening when you see my eyes
C D G
Looking back at you, no disguise.
G C G
I'm not sure who you think you'll see,
C D G
I'm just hoping you still know that it's me.
[Chorus]
C D G C Am D G
Oh, oh, what if it's true, aah, better ask the man inside?
C D G C
Oh, oh, there seem to be two;
G D G
One steals the love, and the other one hides.
G C G
Yeah, can we call it a loan
C D G
till I'm paid in full for the seeds I've sown?
G C G
Yeah, can we say that I've grown
C D G
in some ways that we may have yet to be shown?
C D G C Am D G
Oh, oh, if I'd only know, aah, what your heart costs.
C D G C
Oh, oh, can we call it a loan,
G D G
And a debt that I owe on a bet that I lost?
