White Lies - Is Love Chords

[Intro]
D     


[Verse 1]
D  
She stares into the mirror
      C               G    D
Youth fading with the sun
D
The hollows in her face
     C        G    D
Like wishing wells
D     
Scarlet as a papercut
    C               G     D
And jewelled as the Orion
D                  C                G     D
She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl


[Chorus 1]
F                             G                D
    She says 'the only thing I've ever found
          Dm           F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D        Dm
Is love'
F                             G                D
    She says 'the only thing I've ever found
          Dm           F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D        
Is love'


[Interlude]
D    C  G   D


[Verse 2]
D
He stares into the river
      C             G       D
Heart falling to the drift
D    
An argument of cars
      C             G           D
Moving full steam behind
D                    
Blood-shot as a baby
     C             G        D
And sulking like a valley
D                        C      G     D
Fishing in reflections, killing time


[Chorus 2]
F                               G            D
    He says 'the only thing I've ever found
         Dm            F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D     Dm
Is love'

F                               G            D
    He says 'the only thing I've ever found
        Dm            F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D     Dm
Is love'


[Bridge]
Am
It's the bath that's getting cold while you're frozen to your bed
C                                   G
The milk that's going rancid on the table
Am                                                   
The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin, 
C                                G
the pointless items we forgot to label
Am
It's the perfume on her wrist, that stinks of easy birthdays
C                                   G
The spare keys like asbestos on the side
Am
It's the cross around his neck, for luck and not for honour
C                              E              
Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride


[Chorus 3]
F                             G          D
She says 'the only thing I've ever found
       Dm              F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D       Dm
Is love'

F                            G           D
He says 'the only thing I've ever found
       Dm              F   
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D     Dm
Is love'
F                          G          D
I know the only thing I've ever found
       Dm              F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D
Is love

F                          G          D
I know the only thing I've ever found
       Dm              F
That's greater than it always sounds
G  D
Is love
