Only Love
by Heather Nova
NOTE: The lyrics are sung in a sort of syncopation with the chords, so a lot of the Dm chords are struck
before the words begin. I recommend listening to the song a few times to get the pattern.
[Intro]
(x4)
Dm C Bb
[Verse 1]
Dm C Bb
I used to think that I knew what we needed
Dm C Bb
I just assumed we would always be fine
Dm C Bb
Now I don't think that we lost the feeling,
Dm C Bb
But we...let everything build up inside
[Chorus 1]
Dm C Bb
It's only love...but love
Dm C Bb
Should make us strong
Dm C Bb
It's only love...but love
Dm C F C
Has been...hurting so long
Dm C Bb
[Verse 2]
Dm C Bb
What a challenge...honesty
Dm C Bb
What a struggle to learn to speak
Dm C Bb
Who’d have thought that pretending was easier?
Dm C Bb
[Chorus 2]
Dm C Bb
It's only love...but love
Dm C Bb
Should make us strong
Dm C Bb
It's only love...but love
Dm C F C
Has been...hurting so...long
Dm
And it's all a part of me
C
Tearin’ my heart
F C
Only...love
Dm
And it's all an eternity
C
Hoping to learn
F C
Only...love
[Bridge]
Dm C Bb
Love...
Dm C Bb
Ooh...
[Verse 3]
Dm C Bb
There's a part of you I'm trying to reach
Dm C Bb
Still a part I don't know. Tell me,
Dm C Bb
Is devotion a gift or a thief?
Dm C Bb
Do you wish I'd let go?
[Chorus 3]
Dm C Bb
It's only love...but love
Dm C Bb
Should make us strong
Dm C Bb
It's only love...but love
Dm C F C
Has been...hurting so...long
Dm
And it's all a part of me
C
Tearin’ my heart
F C
Only...love
Dm
And it's all an eternity
C
Hoping to learn
F C Dm
Only...love... only love, oh,
[Outro]
C F C
Only love
Dm C
Only love, oh...only
F C Dm C
Love, only...love, only...love, only...only
F C Dm
Love, only...love, only...love, only
C Dm C Bb
Love.........only
Dm C Bb
Love...only
Dm
Love
