Chords for Dan Fogelberg - Make Love Stay (from Live: Greetings from the West)

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ Make Love Stay [Dm] was based on _ a book written _ [D] by Tom Robbins called Still Life with [C] Woodpecker.
_ It was wonderful.
His precept was [E] the most [D] difficult _ concept that man [G] in the late 20th century [A] has to really wrestle [B] with is [D] how to make love stay. _
_ [G] I loved that idea.
I just thought that was a great philosophical moment, so I just wrote some music basically to his ideas. _ _
[A] Now _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
that we [G] love, _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
now that the lonely [G] _ _ [A] _
_ nights [D] are over, _ _ how do [G] we make [D] _ _
love _ stay? _ _
Now [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
that [G] we _ know _ _ _ _ [D] the _ _ _ fire [G] can burn bright or _ _
[A] _ [Bm] merely _ smolder, _ how do [G] we keep it [A] from _ _ [D] dying away? _
You _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
lose [G] heaven's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] dreams, _ _ _ _ barely _ _ [G] _ [A] remembered _ _ here [D] in the morning, _ _ love like [G] a fan, [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
but held in [G] the _ _ _ heart.
_ [D] It _ _ _ _ pales like the [G] empty _ smile [A] _ _ [Bm] _ adorning _ a _ _ [G] statue's _ _
[A] _ sightless _ _ [D] _ _
eye. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ Moments _ fleet to [Bm] sweet _ _ within _ _ [D] the _ _ [E] _
rapture, _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [E] precious _ flesh is _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] greedily consumed. _ _
_ But [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ mystery's [Bm] a thing _ not easily _ [D] _ _ captured, _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ once deceased, _ not [D] _ _ easily [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ exhumed.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
Now that [G] we love, _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
now that the lonely _ _
[A] _ _ [G] [Bm] nights are over, _ _ how do [G] we _ _ [A]
make love _ [D] stay? _ _
