G Em7
G
Usually a drink will do the trick
G
Take the edge off quick, sitting in the dark
Em7
With a shared cigarette
Seeing eye-to-eye, and heart-to-heart
C
But maybe I’m just getting old
Used to work but now it don’t
G
A long gone drive
You know the kind where you take a turn
Em7
and you don’t know why
But it clears your mind, a surefire cure
C
I need something stronger
D
That’ll last a little longer
[Chorus]
C
I could use a love song
That takes me back, just like that
G
When it comes on
To a time when I wouldn’t roll my eyes
Em
At a guy and a girl
D/F#
Who make it work in a world
G Bm C
That for me so far just seems to go so wrong
G
Yeah I could use, I could use a love song
Em
[Verse]
G
I wish I didn’t know so much
I peeked behind the curtain
Em7
Now that magic rush
Feels like a trick that isn’t working
C
But I haven’t lost all hope yet
D
Yeah it’s hurting but it ain’t dead
C
I could use a love song
That takes me back, just like that
G
When it comes on
To a time when I wouldn’t roll my eyes
Em
At a guy and a girl
D/F#
Who make it work in a world
G Bm C
That for me so far just seems to go so wrong
[Chorus]
Em
Yeah I could use, I could use a love song
D/F# G Em/A
Em7 D/F# G (C) Em/A
Em D/F# G Em/A
Give me a sign or a rhyme or a reason
Em D/F# G C Em7
Just something that I can believe in
[Chorus]
C
I could use a love song
That takes me back, just like that
G
When it comes on
To a time when I wouldn’t roll my eyes
Em
At a guy and a girl
D/F#
Who make it work in a world
G Bm C
That for me so far just seems to go so wrong
D G
Yeah I could use, I could use a love song
Em G
