Love Song

Intro: Em Bsus Em Bsus



Em                         D     
  I was alone my heart was cold 
          ~
it was a stone,

              Gmaj7                
  my soul was lonely like a stone -
               B
 there was no moss.

Em                            D  
  And when I danced I danced 
              ~
alone but then I did not dance

           Gmaj7                   
  because I *was* alone.  So I did 
    B
not dance.


Em                              D   
   _~_            Gmaj7
  I shuffled through life invisible 
to all the happy couples who would 
mock

                  B
  me with their merry laughter – 
“ha-ha-ha”.

Em                           
  The only sound I heard in my 
   D                          C
lonely silent world was the rusty 
hammer of my

        B                          
  heart nailing at the hatred in my
 Em
 soul.


B - D - Em (quickly)


[ synth strings ]


       D      Gmaj7
  But then you came,

                         Em     
  and my life was turned upside 
Dmmaj7  Am7
down.

Am7                               
  You showed me the beauty of the 
D7
things that I had never seen.

          G                         
      [ Embellish with Gmaj7, G/D  
and G ]
  Like a snowflake that melts on the
 eyelash of a startled deer.

         Em            Amaj7  
  Or the painting of a dog that 
          Am7
wears a deerstalker[1] and

   D7                 Em          
  smokes a pipe that made you 
       Dmmaj7
laugh so heartily,

 Am7                    D7        
  but I had previously thought was
  G   Gmaj7  G/D
 rubbish.


         Em                 Dmmaj7
  Or the duck that lands so 
         Am7
clumsily on a frozen pond in winter

           D7
  but the intoxicating power of our 
love transforms this simple act into
 an

     G                           
  anthropomorphic drama where Mr. 
            Gmaj7
Duck’s embarrassed and the other 
ducks are

    G           Gmaj7  G/D
  laughing (quack quack quack quack 
quack).



B/              Em
  AND THEN YOU LEFT!            
[Flamenco Style]

D                            C   
  And I have died a thousand 
                             B
deaths and I will die a thousand 
more!

Em                         D     
  I thought you were an angel - 
     C                 B
you turned out to be a whore!

Em                              D
  And everything has turned to 
dust! Everything is infected with 
C         B
the plague!

B                                
  Why did you have to sleep with 
Em
Craig?

D                        C       
  "Oh he's so sensitive, he's got
            B
 a tattoo."

        C                       
  Yeah, carving your name with a 
                            B
compass in my forehead was not 
enough for you!


  C*   B   C*   B


[ Flutes ]


Em                                
  The snow flake on the eye of the
      D
 dear has turned to

              C               
  puss that oozes from an open 
   B
wound.

C                              
  The deer now blind it stumbles 
    B
into a ravine.

Em                          
  The duck lies shredded in a 
  D
pancake,

C                             
  soaking in the hoisin of your 
  B
lies.

Em                                
  The dog has moved from the pipe 
   D
to 60 cigarettes a day,

       C                         
  and coughs away his life in the 
  Em        B                
cold neon research lab of your 
    Em         D
betrayal.

          C   D    Em
  Of your betrayal...(fade)
