            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?
