Note: At some points I feel C and Am are interchangable and work just as well. It's up to you.
Capo 1
Intro
G Am G C G D
G Am
Found a way
G C
To break away
G
From the one
D
You say that you love
G Am
Now you cry out your eyes
G C G
Day and night you set free
D
The one that you love
C
And it's true
D
I don't remember you
Em D
But I'd believe if you say that we met
C
I get confused
D
Nights I've been wondering
Em D
I thought I was already dead
Am
But man I loved
D
Yeah I loved
Em
When I loved
G
It was love
Am
It was love
D
Or at least
G
The closest I've come
G Am G C G C G Am G
G Am
And the coffee, the cream
G C
The blood in my dreams
G
Are the ones
D
That you used to know
G Am
And the gas the plane
G C
The interstate
G
Live the ones
D
You don't have to know
C
And I regret
D
This sad and awful truth
Em D
But my mouth it'll get away from me
C D
You, I just put up with you,
Em D
Kid, I stayed cause you wouldn't leave
Am
Remember love?
D
Oh, love
Em
When we loved
G
It was love
Am
It was love
D G
Or at least, as close as I've come
G C G Am G
C D
And maybe Joan was running all alone
Em G
And there is a shortcut, home
Am
Putting a gun to your brain
D G
Man, to take all that you got
C G Am G
C D
And the truth, that I was just scared for you,
Em D
But for me that's the way that it comes
C D
You'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue
Em D
But god, didn't we have some fun?
Am
When we made love
D
In the van
Em G
And I drove with your hand on my lap
Am D
And when San Diego got too unkind
Em G
We just picked up and left em behind
Am
And we had some love
D
And some hope
Em G
A full tank of gas and a wide open road
Am
It was love
D
To us
Em
It was all that we had
Am
And there's days
D
You just break
Em
The best thing you have
C
But I still call it love
D G
For now, it's the closest I've come.
