Artist: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Song: What Can I Give Album: Jack The Ripper B-Side ----------------------------------- D Bm All my life D Bm I've failed to see D one good thing Bm standing D Bm in front of me D Bm and the planets gravitate around you D Bm and the stars, the stars surround you D Bm and the angels in heaven adore you D Bm and the saints, the saints all stand and applaud you A G what can I give you A G what can I give you A D in return The shadow came creeping a criminal to chase me from my light and sometimes when I'm sleeping I see him shuffle against the night oh he's awaiting yeah he's awaiting to return and each step I talk moves me one step below you and you must stoop in order to console me help me help me help me babe, reach down and collect me what can I give you what can I give you in return galaxies collide they shower down around you and I search, I stumble then I found you in your robe, in your crown reaching below babe, reaching low down to the ground what can i give you what can I give you in return --------------------------- transcribed by Benjamin Denes bdenes@mnsi.net
