Verse
F#m Bm E A
Let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
F#m Bm E
And watch the birds soar above
F#m Bm
Let 'em tell us of love and loss
E A
How we'll live and how we'll die
F#m Bm E
'Cause they say he once was
F#m Bm
Somebody with a black suit
E A F#m Bm
And good shoes, and a perfect smile
E
It makes me want to ask
[Chorus]
F#m Bm
Oh, was it in the mad loves
D A
And the big fights
F#m Bm
So was it in the small change
D A
And the passing updates
F#m Bm
So was it in the giving up
E A
And the getting on
F#m Bm
No, was it in the mad love
F#m Bm
So was it in the mad love
F#m Bm
So was it in the mad loves
D
And the big fights
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm E A
We'll let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
F#m Bm E
And watch the clouds pass above

How paper burns and pictures fade
E A
Only melody remains
F#m Bm
And sure enough he laughs as if he knows
E A
Makes me want to ask
[Chorus]

Oh, was it in the mad loves

And the big fights

At the right times

And the moving on

No, was it in the mad love

So was it in the mad love

So was it in the little things, we all want
