D Bm7 Bm6/G G9
Guess i wasn't the best one to ask
D Bm7 Bm6/G G9
me myself with my face pressed up against love's glass
E7sus4 D/F#
to see the shiny toy i've been hoping for
G9 A7sus4 A7
the one i never can afford
D Bm7
the wide world spins and spits turmoil
Bm6/Ab G9
and the nations toil for peace
D Bm7
but the paws of fear upon your chest
Bm6/Ab G9
only love can soothe that beast
E7sus4 D/F#
and my words are paper tigers
G9 A7sus4 A7
no match for the predator of pain inside her
D A/D G9
i say love will come to you
D A/D G9
hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true
Bm7 D/A G9
as if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
A7sus4 A7 D
where there's now one there will be two
D Bm7 Bm6/G G9
i was born under the sign of cancer
D Bm7 Bm6/G G9
like brushing cloth i smooth the wrinkles for an answer
E7sus4 D/F#
i'm always closing my eyes wishing i'm fine
G9 A7sus4 A7
even though i know i'm not this time
D A/D G9
i say love will come to you
D A/D G9
hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true
Bm7 D/A G9
as if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
A7sus4 A7 D
where there's now one there will be two
E7sus4 D/F#
dodging your memories a field of knives
G9 A7sus4 A7
always on the outside looking in on other's lives
D A/D G9
i say love will come to you
D A/D G9
hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true
Bm7 D/A G9
as if i've offered up a crystal ball to look through
A7sus4 A7 D
where there's now one there will be two
Bm7 G9
and i wish her insight to battle love's blindness
Bm7 D/A G9
strength from the milk of human kindness
Bm7 D/A E7/Ab
a safe place for all the pieces that scattered
G9 D/F# Em A7sus4 A7 D
learn to pretend there's more than love that matters
