Verse
C#m F#m B E
Let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
C#m F#m B
And watch the birds soar above
C#m F#m
Let 'em tell us of love and loss
B E
How we'll live and how we'll die
C#m F#m B
'Cause they say he once was
C#m F#m
Somebody with a black suit
B E C#m F#m
And good shoes, and a perfect smile
B
It makes me want to ask
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
Oh, was it in the mad loves
A E
And the big fights
C#m F#m
So was it in the small change
A E
And the passing updates
C#m F#m
So was it in the giving up
B E
And the getting on
C#m F#m
No, was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad loves
A
And the big fights
[Verse 2]
C#m F#m B E
We'll let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
C#m F#m B
And watch the clouds pass above
C#m F#m
How paper burns and pictures fade
B E
Only melody remains
C#m F#m
And sure enough he laughs as if he knows
B E
Makes me want to ask
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
Oh, was it in the mad loves
A E
And the big fights
C#m F#m
So was it in the right words
A E
At the right times
C#m F#m
So was it in the giving up
B E
And the moving on
C#m F#m
No, was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad loves
A A
So was it in the little things, we all want
[Bridge]

We all want
|C#m F#m |B E |C# F#m |
C#m F#m
We all want
|C#m F#m |F#m |
[Chorus]
C#m F#m
Oh, was it in the mad loves
A E
And the big fights
C#m F#m
So was it in the small change
A E
And the passing updates
C#m F#m
So was it in the giving up
B E
And the getting on
C#m F#m
No, was it in the mad love
[Outro]
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad love
C#m F#m
So was it in the mad love
A F#m
And the big fights
