I Know It Was Love

INTRO: Am  F  G  Am


Well, I know it was love
             F
But love can be a fleeting thing
                     Am
Filled with flowers in the dark
                   F               
The beating of the blackbird's 
   G
wings


                 Am
Oh, and I know it was love
               F
But it was the restless kind
                        Am
Not love that keeps you calm
                       F       G
But love that thunders up your mind


CHORUS:
         F          G          Am
And this love poured down like rain
    F        G         Am
And we lived out on the line
       F         G    Am
And we spun like hurricanes
      F        G         Am    F 
I was yours and you were mine
 G  Am

Well, I know it was love
                       F
'Cause love can set you wandering
                 Am
Or keep you in a cage
               F              G
Or make you do most anything


                 Am
Oh, and I know it was love
                          F
'Cause nothing else could touch us 
then
                  Am
We were just like leaves
           F        G
Tumbling inside the wind


CHORUS:
         F          G          Am
And this love poured down like rain
    F        G         Am
And we lived out on the line
       F         G    Am
And we spun like hurricanes
      F        G         Am
I was yours and you were mine


INSTRUMENTAL: Am   Em  F  G  Am



Now you wonder where it's gone
                  F
Well looking back I think I know
                  Am
We held it in our arms
                 F           G
But we got scared and let it go


BRIDGE;
                       C
We could have rode the rails
                       G
We could have taken any town
                          Am
We could have danced along the bars
                         F         
We could have burned the whole 
  G
place down


CHORUS:
         F          G          Am
And this love poured down like rain
    F        G         Am
And we lived out on the line
       F         G    Am
And we spun like hurricanes
      F        G         Am
I was yours and you were mine
          F        G         Am
And I was yours and you were mine
          F        G         Am
And I was yours and you were mine
