DWhen (xx0232@1)the earth was still flat
         D/BAnd (x20232@1)the clouds made of fire
       Aadd9And (x02420@1)mountains stretched up to the sky
G (320003@1)Sometimes higher
G (320003@1)Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
          DThey (xx0232@1)had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
          F#mThey (244222@1)had two faces peering out of one giant head
             EmSo (022000@1)they could watch all around them
AAs (x02220@1)they talked while they read
           G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)       DAnd (xx0232@1)they never knew nothing of love
             G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)              D (xx0232@1)   GIt (320003@1)was before     the origin of love
                D (xx0232@1)  GThe (320003@1)origin of love

BmAnd (x24432@1)there were three sexes then, one of them looked like two men glued up back to back
                            GCalled (320003@1)the children of the sun
      DAnd (xx0232@1)similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth
                  D (xx0232@1)                    GThey (320003@1)looked like two girls rolled up in one
          AAnd (x02220@1)the children of the moon
             BmWere (x24432@1)like a fork stuck on a spoon
            C#mThey (x13321@4)were part sun part earth
                      APart (x02220@1)daughter part son

D (xx0232@1)         G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)  GThe (320003@1)origin of love

DNow (xx0232@1)the gods grew quite scared
        D/BOf (x20232@1)our strength and defiance
            G (320003@1)                        GAnd (320003@1)Thor said, "I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammer
     G (320003@1)          GLike (320003@1)I killed the giants."
 GAnd (320003@1)Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me
        DUse (xx0232@1)my lightning like scissors
                D (xx0232@1)                                    DLike (xx0232@1)I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards
         F#mThen (244222@1)he grabbed up some bolts
        GAnd (320003@1)he let out a laugh
                        EmSaid, (022000@1)"I'll split them right dowm the middle
               AGonna (x02220@1)cut 'em right up in half."
         G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)          DAnd (xx0232@1)the storm clouds gathered above
                      GInto (320003@1)great balls of fire

BmAnd (x24432@1)then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
                           GLike (320003@1)shining blades of a knife
          BmAnd (x24432@1)it ripped right through the flesh
                                                GOf (320003@1)the children of the sun and the moon and the earth
               BmAnd (x24432@1)some indian god sewed the wound up to a hole
                                    GPulled (320003@1)it around to our belly to remind us the price we paid
      BmAnd (x24432@1)Osiris and the gods of the nile
                   GGathered (320003@1)up a big storm
               EmTo (022000@1)blow a hurricane
               BmTo (x24432@1)scatter us away
                       GIn (320003@1)a flood of wind and rain
                    EmAnd (022000@1)a sea of tidal waves
                BmTo (x24432@1)wash us all away
                  GAnd (320003@1)if we don't behave
                     EmThey'll (022000@1)cut us down again
              Ab (xx1114@1)                    GAnd (320003@1)we'll be hopping 'round on one foot
D (xx0232@1)                        Gand (320003@1)looking through one eye



DLast (xx0232@1)time I saw you
      BmWe'd (x24432@1)just split in two
          GYou (320003@1)were looking at me
       AI (x02220@1)was looking at you
               DAnd (xx0232@1)you had a way so familiar
   BmI (x24432@1)could not recognize
             GCuz (320003@1)you had blood on your face
       AI (x02220@1)had blood in my eyes
       DBut (xx0232@1)I swear by your expression
          BmThat (x24432@1)the pain down in your soul
         G (320003@1)                     AWas (x02220@1)the same as the one down in mine
            DThat's (xx0232@1)the pain
             Bm (x24432@1)                           GThat (320003@1)cuts a straight line down through the heart
            AWe (x02220@1)call it love
                DWe (xx0232@1)wrapped our arms 'round each other
                BmTried (x24432@1)to shove ourselves back together
                G (320003@1)            AWe (x02220@1)were making love   making love
          D (xx0232@1)                      BmIt (x24432@1)was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
             G (320003@1)            AWhen (x02220@1)by the mighty hand of Jove
          D (xx0232@1)                     BmIt (x24432@1)was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures
     G (320003@1)                     AThe (x02220@1)story of the origin of love
                      D (xx0232@1)   G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  G (320003@1)  D (xx0232@1)  G...
