UNDERSTANDING LOVE
THIRSTY MERC
INTRO:
NONE
VERSE:
Bb
I see couples walking strollers
F
And the barrel rolling surfers on the waves
Bb
Backpackers home from hikes
F
Swedish girls upon pushbikes out on the bay
PRE-CHORUS
Bb
Twenty million grains of sand
Dm
It’s by far thee Promised Land
G
And I’ll always be a fan
Bb C F
Still I have to board a plane in seven days
VERSE:
Bb
It should not be bittersweet
F
When the scene out on the street is so alluring
Bb
But as a music man by trade
F
It’s not hard to be persuaded and intruding
PRE-CHORUS:
Bb
When I find my lost boys club
Dm
And I don’t mind roadhouse grub
G
But for all the ticket stubs
Bb C F
Still I cannot overcome the way I’m feeling
CHORUS:
C Bb F
I will never understand my love
Bb F C
When understanding love is impossible
C Bb F
All I know is love is what we got
Bb F C
And what we got I’ll never throw away
Bb C F
I will never understand my love
No I won’t
VERSE:
Bb
And then the situation
F
With a girl who’s in my life my gorgeous lover
Bb
I admitted I was leaving
F
So I must commit to grieving undercover
PRE-CHORUS:
Bb
I put on my bravest face (on my bravest face)
Dm
In my home so out of place (home so out of place)
G
Before we wrestle with the distance
Bb C F
Just a phone bill and persistence as I love her , Hmmmm
CHORUS:
C Bb F
I will never understand my love
Bb F C
When understanding love is impossible
C Bb F
All I know is love is what we got
Bb F C
And what we got I’ll never throw away
Bb C F
But, I will never understand my love
No I won’t
VERSE:
Bb
I remember when mum said
If I can’t afford a bed
F
Then there’s the spare room
Bb
That she would not leave a key
F
Since apparently my father’s stolen heirloom
PRE-CHORUS:
Bb
Though the marriage break was fierce
Dm
It’s been over twenty years
G
But she still won’t dry her tears
Bb C F
Since my parents choose to sleep in separate bedrooms
CHORUS:
C Bb F
So I will never understand my love
Bb F C
When understanding love is impossible
C Bb F
All I know is love is what we got
Bb F C
And what we got I’ll never throw away
C Bb F
No, I will never understand my love
Bb F C
When understanding love is impossible
C Bb F
All I know is love is what we got
Bb F C
And what we got I’ll never throw away
Bb C F
But, I will never understand my love
Bb Bb F
I’ll never understand
