If there was no word for love now
Am F
We'd see how strong it really is
A# E
We could find out what it looks like
A D D/C#
Or if it ever did exist
E A
'Cause every time you said you loved me
Am F
Seems like the point escaped us both
A# E
And the current interrupted
A D D/C#
The moment that you spoke
C# F#m
Now there's a loophole in the theory
A7 D/C#
That I cannot figure out
D/C# A
'Cause if love was what they said it would be
E/G# E A/E
Then you'd be here with me now
REPEAT INTRO
It's a loneliness perfected
It's how to laugh when you should cry
The side effects of broken promise
Becomes a way of getting by
So the next time that you see me
And our exchange feels somehow cheap
Know that I feel every word you're saying
But from just a few steps out of reach
C# F#m
Where the view is a little hazy
A7 D/C#
And the noise a little loud
D/C# A/E
'Cause if love was what they said it would be
E/G# E E C# F#m B
Well then you'd be here with me now
D/C# A/E
If love was what they said it would be
E/G# E A/E
Then you'd be here with me now
REPEAT INTRO THROUGH OUTRO
END!!!
