A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
[Verse 1]
A#
When I heard, it occurred to me like a
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
break in the ice
A#
That this wouldn't work
A#
That's the day I learned to run for my
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
life
A#
Guarding the door was every single love
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
that's ever lost
A#
I wept in their arms
They said, "Man, we've been there
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
before."
A#
And then I think
That life's been as good as it's been a
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
bastard
A#
I'm not damaged, just discouraged
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
B little tired, that's all
[Chorus]
A# Eb A#
Darkness has a way of robbing me
Eb
But love is love is love
A#
And that changes things
[Verse 2]
A#
I've been an addict for most of my life
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
To both naked women and fighting the good fight
A#
I've been impaired for far too many nights
F
To look in the mirror and hope for a wife
A#
If I keep on it won't get easier
F
But it's the only choice I've got
A#
I am not damaged, just discouraged
A#/C A#/D A#/Eb F/A
I'm human, and that's all
[Chorus]
A# Eb A#
Darkness has a way of robbing me
Eb
But love is love is love
A#
And that changes things
Eb
Love is love is love
A#
And that changes things
[Verse 3]
Eb Gm A# F
When who I've become is tearing me up
Eb
I'm reminded
Eb Gm A# F
Affection exceeds the depth of my grief
Eb
I'm reminded
Eb
That no one ever thinks themselves a
A#
Judas
Gm Eb A#
Rope in hand walking toward the tree
Gm Eb
Should you ever find you're out of
A#
options
Eb A#
Brother, you can hang around with me
