TEN – Sometimes Love Takes the Long Way Home
from the album Albion (2014)
tuning half step down
Em, C, D, A, Cmaj7 (2x)
Em
The breath of a notion on a temperate breeze
C
Stirs my emotion, it begins unseen
D A Cmaj7
Till the hunger grows and love starts to take hold
Em
In vivid reflections, see it all too clear
C
Taint our affections through our crystal tears
D A Cmaj7
Till a cold and frozen love has to let go
C D B Em
Desperate dreams sail the ocean tides on long summer nights
D C D Em
In too deep, pure emotion guides the way
C D B Em
Our esteem for the laughter dies with tears in our eyes
D C Am D Em
Sometimes love takes the long way home
Em, C, D, A, Cmaj7
Em
My faint recollections of a young boy's dream
C
Searching for something of sublime extreme
D A C
Why does everything I touch crumble to dust?
Em
Love on its journey, crossing wild frontiers
C
We chase our adventures as we face our fears
D A C
In the fray we lose our way, stumble and rust
A* B* C D B Em
Desperate dreams sail the ocean tides on long summer nights
D C D Em
In too deep, pure emotion guides the way
C D B Em
Our esteem for the laughter dies with tears in our eyes
D C Am D Em
Sometimes love takes the long way home
Em, C, D, A, C (3x)
