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