"How We Love" from the album Human Again By Ingrid Michaelson
Capo 2
[Verse]
D
I knew a man who was afraid to love
D
to lay his heart on the bathroom rug
Bm G
he drank his coffee in the same old mug
D
and sat in silence 'til the world fell numb
D
until the day when a girl came by
D
she had eyes like the rising tide
Bm G
he felt a sharpness deep inside
D
the kind of ache that can't be satisfied
[Chorus]
G A Bm G
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
A Bm G D
but how we love when it washes our cars
G A Bm G
we love to love when it fills up the room
A Bm G D
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
[Verse]
D
so he turned to the radio
D
and he went to a picture show
Bm G
tried to find someone else who knows
D
all the hurt that a heart can hold
D
she smelled like cinnamon and winter clove
D
and sparked like firewood inside a stove
Bm G
wanted to ask her just to sit and stay
D
instead he watched as she walked away
[Chorus]
G A Bm G
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
A Bm G D
but how we love when it washes our cars
G A Bm G
we love to love when it fills up the room
A Bm G D
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
[Bridge]
Bm, G, D, A,Bm, G, A)x2
[Chorus]
