Capo on fret 1
[Verse 1]
E
I'm so afraid of saying something wrong
A
There's a real danger in saying nothing at all
E
That I'll go back to the rabbit and drink, yeah
A
Half-cut, fired up, say what I think
E
That you're funny, interesting, too
A
That the air warms up when you walk in the room
E
That I still dream about the night we met
A Am
How I don't mean it now as I meant it then
[Chorus]
E A
What could be as lonely as love?
E A
What could ever hurt this much?
E A
What if you're the only one?
[Verse 2]
E
So let me in, let me in from out of the cold
A
I'm okay, I'm doing fine -- the greatest lie ever told
E
Even I don't recognize reflections of mine
A Am
When I'm the next call down the emergency line, I'll say
[Chorus]
E A
What could be as lonely as love?
E A
What could ever hurt this much?
E A
What if you're the only one?
E A
What could be as lonely as love?
[Bridge]
E
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
A
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
E
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
A
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
E
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
A
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
E
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
A
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
E
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
[Chorus]
E A
What could be as lonely as love?
E A
What could ever hurt this much?
E A
What if you're the only one? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean)
E A
What could be as lonely as love? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean)
[Bridge]
E
Oh, it's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?)
A
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
E
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?)
A
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
[Outro]
E A
What could be as lonely as love?
E A
What could be as lonely as love?
