Em   Am6   G   D6   D

Here each chord is played the same amount of time (2 measures I think) except the D
and D6, which are each played half as long as the other chords

But give me love over, love over, love over this ...  our     love
Em                     Am6                        G     D6          D
But give me love over, love over, love over this ...  our     love
