Intro: (Am)(Em) . . . (Am)(Em) . . . (Dm)(G)
 

(Am)Love took a long time, it followed me here
And it (G)landed on light feet, and it whispered in my ear
Love (Am)spoke of my past as a valuable test,
And (G)smiled, and said, "She who loves (E)last loves best"
Cause you (F)know life is hard, but now you (G)also know your (Em)mind,
So now you're (C)going out to love, but on your (D)own side this time
Where you (Em)still think of famine, and you'll (F)still dig up train fare
And you (Em)won't mind the wrinkles cause you'll (F)know how they got there
In (Am)love but not at (Em)peace, in (Am)love but not at (Em)peace (Dm)(G)
 

(Am)Once for me love was the boat inside
Of a (G)bottle, it felt like a gondola ride
When you (Am)float with the nick-nacks, and you don't hear a sound
Where the (G)fish never lived, and you (E)don't miss the ground
And the (F)moon hangs above like a (G)valium (Em)pill
And I (C)say I'll be fine, but I don't (D)think that I will
But to(Em)day I got work, and I (F)like it that way
It's a (Em)case of a still life gone (F)cinema veri(Am)té
In love but not at (Em)peace, in (Am)love but not at (Em)peace (Dm)(G)
 

And I (Em)still need the beauty of (F)words sung and spoken
And I (Em)live with the fear that my (F)spirit will be broken
(Am)And that's the way I (Em)thought it would be
(Am)And that's the way I always (Em)wanted it to be (Dm)(G)
 

(C)So I'll keep you wondering what time I'm arriving
And (G)you'll drive me crazy with your back seat driving
And I'll (Am)talk in my sleep, and you'll steal all the covers
We'll (G)argue it out, and we'll (E)call ourselves lovers
And I'll (F)stay in my body, and you'll (G)stay in your (Em)own
Cause we (C)know that we're born and we're (D)dying alone
So we (Em)turn out the light while the (F)sirens are screaming
And we (Em)kiss for the waking, and (F)then join the dreaming
In (Am)love but not at (Em)peace, in (Am)love but not at (Em)peace (Dm)(G)(C)

(G)Love took a long time, it (C)followed me here,
And it (D)landed on light feet, and it (Bm)whispered in my ear.
Love (G)spoke of my past as a (C)valuable test,
And (D)smiled, and said, "She who loves (Bm)last loves best."
Cause you (C)know life is hard, but now you (D)also know your mind,
So now you're (G)going out to love, but on your (D)own side this time,
Where you (G)still think of famine, and you (C)still dig up train fare,
And you (G)won't mind the wrinkles cause you'll (D)know how they got there.
In (C)love but not at (D)peace, in (C)love but not at (D)peace.

(G)Once for me love was the(C)boat inside of a (D)bottle, it felt like a (Bm)gondola ride,
When you (G)float with the nick-nacks, and you (C)don't hear a sound,
Where the (D)fish never lived, and you (Bm)don't miss the ground.
And the (C)moon hangs above like a (D)valium pill,
And I (G)say I'll be fine, but I don't (D)think that I will.
But to(G)day I got work, and I (C)like it that way,
It's a (G)case of a still life gone (D)cinema verité,
(C)In love but not at (D)peace, in (C)love but not at (D)peace.

And I (C)still need the beauty of words (D)sung and spoken,
And I (C)live with the fear that my (D)spirit will be broken.
(Bm)And that's the way I thought it would be,
And that's the way I always wanted it to be.

(G)So I'll keep you wondering what (C)time I'm arriving,
And (D)you'll drive me crazy with your (Bm)back seat driving.
And I'll (G)talk in my sleep, and you'll (C)steal all the covers,
We'll (D)argue it out, and we'll (Bm)call ourselves lovers.
And I'll (G)stay in my body, and you'll (C)stay in your own,
Cause we (G)know that we're born and we're (D)dying alone.
So we (G)turn out the light while the (C)sirens are screaming,
And we (G)kiss for the waking, and (D)then join the dreaming.
In (C)love but not at (D)peace, in (C)love but not at (D)peace. (C)
