I've pulled down my lace and the chintz,

 Ooh, do you know, you have the face of a geni-us?

 I'll send your love to Zeus.

Oh, by the time you read this, I'll be well in touch.

Chorus 1:

G              F                  C   Dm
 I'm giving it all in a moment or two,
G              F                   C   Dm
 I'm giving it all in a moment for you.
G              F    Dm                    C
 I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it, giving it.

Gm                         F
 This kicking here inside, makes me leave you behind.
Eb                           D7
 No more under the quilt, to keep you warm.
Bb                        Ab
 Your sister, I was born; you must, lose me like,
   Eb                         D7
An arrow shot into the killer storm.

 You and me, on the bobbing knee,
F                 G                       G
 Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read?
C            G
 I will come home again,
           F                   Fm
But not un-til the sun and the moon meet on yon hill.

 I'm giving it all in a moment for you.
