[Verse 1]
C Em
I see her in a smokey room
Got her hair tied back in a ponytail
C Am
Ask her how she got there
Em Em
She knows but'll never tell
C
Got a bottle of tequila by your side
Got a trickle of a tear by your eye
Eb G
And you think that it's okay
Am
Yeah, you think that it's alright
C
You think he's the right guy
C
Said he's gonna treat you right
C
But you don't know what love is
C
You keep asking
[Chorus]
C D
"What is love?
G Am Em
What is love, love, love?
G D
What is love?
G Em C
What is love, love, love, love, love?"

C Eb
I offer up my open hand
C Am Eb
She grabs on and I pull her up
C Am Em
I take her home to my place
C D
Let her have the bed 'cause she need the space
C
Oh, and I know she was gonna get abused
C
Yeah, I know that she was gonna get used
That's why I went to save her
Am
To show her how he should love her
C
He just wanted to get with her
One night stand then through with her
Em C
And she thinks that's what love is
Am
Ain't nobody tell her
[Chorus]
