[D]
[E] Our love is dead but without limit [A] Like the surface of the moon
[E] Or the land between here [B] and the mountains Well [E] it is not these hiding places
[A] That have kept us innocent But the [E] way you taught me to
[B] Just let it all [E] go by And so we've learned to be as faithless
[A] Stand behind bulletproof glass [E] Exchanging our affections [B] through a drawer
And it was [E] always horribly convenient [A] And happening too fast
You should count [E] your change Before [B] you're even out [E] the door
Well yes you should but please [A] return, return To [E] the person that you were
[C#m] And I will do [B] the same Cause it's too [A] hard to belong
To [E] someone who is gone [B] My compass spins, the [C#] wilderness [E] remains
Well once too often I've retreated Into [A] the depths of my despair
I [E] built a barricade to block you on [B] the road But standing there [E] with all of my possessions
Piled [A] higher than a house I felt [E] closer to [B] you than you ever would have [E] known
So let these tiny acts of charity Be common [A] ground on which to build
[E] A monument to commemorate our [B] time [E] And though you say you've found another
Who [A] will surely speed you on your way To let the forest [E] grow [B] over that path
You came that [E] far but you will so, so hurry [A] up and run
To the [E] one that you love [C#m] and blind him with [B] your kindness
And he'll [A] make war on war on [E] who you were before
And [F#m] you claim all that [A] has spoiled in [E] your heart
[A] [E]
[B] [E]
[A] Now [E]
[Bm] [B] [Em] [E]
I tell myself I've mended [A] Under these patches of blue sky
[E] There's still a few holes that let in a [B] little rain
And [E] so it's crying on my shingles My floorboards moan under my [A] feet
The [E] refrigerator's whining [B] so I've got reason to [E] complain
But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments Some [A] degrading psalm of praise
Like the kind [E] that converted you to me so long [B] ago
Because the [E] truth is that gossip's as good [A] as gospel in this town
You can't [E] save face but you [B] won't ever save [E] your soul
And that's a fact so hurry [A] up and run To [E] the one that you love [C#m] and tie him up in [B] your
brightness And he'll [A] become, become [E] a prisoner of war
And [F#m] know all that [A] has spoiled in [E] your heart He'll know it all
He'll know [F#m] all that [A] has spoiled [E] in your heart
So hurry [A] up and run [E] to the one that you [C#] love and blind [C#m] him with [B] your kindness
And [A] he'll make war on war on [E] who you were before
And [F#m] claim all that [A] has spoiled in [E] your heart Yeah he'll [A] claim all that has spoiled [E] in your heart
[C#m]
[N] So hurry up and run to the one that you love and blind him with kindness
[G#] And he'll make war on war on who you were before
[N] That has spoiled in your heart [Cm] Yeah it'll claim all that has spoiled
