Everything I Own
David Gates (c) 1972

Capo 7

                       
  You sheltered me from harm,
                        
  kept me warm, kept me warm.
                    
  You gave my life to me,
                      
  set me free, set me free.
                              
  The finest years I ever knew
                               
  were all the years I had with you.

                                
        And I would give anything I own,
                                  
        Give up my life, my heart, my home.
                                  
        I would give everything I own
                              
        just to have you back again.

                 
You taught me how to love,
                    
what it's of, what it's of
                                         
You never said too much but still you showed the way
                        
and I knew, from watching you
                    -susA
Nobody else could ever know
                            
the part of me that can't let go
                                    
    Is there someone you know, you're loving them so
                       
    but taking them all for granted?
                                     
    You may lose them one day, someone takes them away
                                             
    and they don't hear the words you long to say.

(repeat Chorus)
                       
just to touch you once again.


(I don't know names of unusual chords but instead of playing Bm you can play the D shape 
placing your finger on the 2nd string (B string)and then put it down for the next D 
 It sounds better than Bm.)
