Love Is Not An Answer Chords

(ver. 1)
John Moreland
Intro]
D G

[Verse 1]
          D                     G D
There's a truth I need to trust
            G                   D G D G
But I can't remember how
     D                  G          D
It's stuck there in the stillness
                 G                 D G D G
But the noise is too damn loud
      G         D/F#   Em
And I thought I was an actor
    G      D/F#   Em
I'd let my colors show
    D                          G
But what if I'm just a bastard
       D          G
Laying low inside your radio

D G D G

[Verse 2]
          D                   G D
Won't you help me make a fist
                G    D        G D
And choke the poison back
G               D            G        D
We'll close our eyes each godforsaken time
          G            D      G D G
The world gets painted black
          G      D/F#     Em
And we'll wonder where it comes from
        G         D/F#        Em
How the pain cuts through the pride
         D                   G         D
When the tools we use to fix ourselves
                   G                D G D G
Are just the fools we stood beside

[Chorus]
    G       D/F#   Em
But love is not an answer
    G       D/F#    Em
Oh, I don't need an answer
       D    G D G
I need you
 
[Verse 3]
  D                       G D
Devotion strong but tender
         G        D        G D G
Devotion dark and cold
  D              G         D
Devotion like an anchor
         G       D         G D G
Swinging from my soul
  G       D/F#      Em
I used to weigh the distance
  G       D/F#    Em
I used to miss my cues
  D                      G D
I used to say I love you
                G           D G D G
Then wonder who I'm talking to

{Chorus]
    G       D/F#   Em
But love is not an answer
    G       D/F#    Em
Oh, I don't need an answer
       D    G D G
I need you

[Piano solo] 
with verse chords.

[Verse 4]
   D                         G D
So bring my all your questions
         G        D          G D G
Bring me all your doubts
      D                      G D
Don't let me meet the devil
            G           D    G D G
That I sang those songs about
          G         D/F#      Em
Cause the hounds of youth are howling
           G        D/F#   Em
And you're all I've got to trust
     D                       G D
With heaven's lonely ghetto
                G       D    G D
Up there crying down on us

[Chorus]
    G       D/F#   Em
But love is not an answer
    G       D/F#    Em
Oh, I don't need an answer
       D    G D G
I need you

      G       D/F#   Em
Yeah, love is not an answer
    G       D/F#   Em
Oh, love is not an answer
    G       D/F#    Em
Oh, I don't need an answer
       D    G D G
I need you
       D    G D G
I need you
