[Gm] [C]
[Gm] [C]
[G] As I [Gm] bask in the glow [C] of a just-lit fire, [Gm] feeling the warmth that [C] would flame grows
higher, [Gm] I think it's [Bb] true that nothing is really [Am] new.
Under the [C] [F] sun, watching [Dm] the new love grow from old love's embers.
Yesterday's gone, but [G] do they [Dm] remember?
[Bb] Doesn't it seem to come down the same [F] for everyone?
[Bb] Only [Am] love is [Bb] what we need, [F] everything else's [Bb]
illusion.
[F] Only love can give [Em]
confusion, [A] love.
[Dm] The way we [G] connive at [C] being [F] alive, [Bb] chasing a line [Am] till we can define
[Dm] the thing that allows us to [G] feel.
[Bb] Only [Am] love, [Bb]
only [C] love [Bb] to heal.

[G] [Gm] Childhood dreams [Am] like muddy water [Gm] flowing through me to my [C] son.
[Bb] Everything I ever thought is [F] left to dry.
Even [Dm] as I see the way that I [G] want to [Dm] go now, still I wish I had [G] known what I [Dm] know.
[Gm] Maybe I could have spared you, given [F] all you to me.
[Bb] [Am] Only love
[Bb] [F] is what we need, everything else's [Bb] illusion.
[F] Only love can give [Em]
confusion, [A] [Dm] [G] love.
The way we connive [C]
at being [F] alive, [Bb] chasing a line [Am] till we can define
[Dm] the thing that allows us [G] to feel.
[Bb] [F] Only [Bb]
