A Love You Can't Survive
 
Am (x02210@1)               FNow (133211@1)I remember the promise I gave you
    C (x32010@1)                      Dm (xx0231@1) 
The night I shipped out as a peace volunteer
      Am (x02210@1)                     FAs (133211@1)we sat holding hands in the Lamb and Flag tavern
  C (x32010@1)                       Dm (xx0231@1) 
I swore I'd be back for you same time next year

But I killed a man in a Brazzaville street fight
I tried to hold back, but he taunted me so
5 years till they freed me from that Brazzaville prison
Out of boredom or pity, I never will know

Chorus:
    F (133211@1)	   GNow (320003@1)I bear the stain, the scar on my name
      D (xx0232@1)   F (133211@1)          GEm
And I never can go back again
Am (x02210@1)      Dm (xx0231@1)     G (320003@1)            Am (x02210@1)      Dm (xx0231@1)     GThere's (320003@1)a love you can't survive, there's a love you can't survive
F (133211@1)                   G (320003@1)   F (133211@1)                G (320003@1)       Em (022000@1)AmAnd (x02210@1)it tears you up inside, there's a love you can't survive

I sailed my boat into New Orleans harbour
Tied up at the jetty, as bold as you please
With a half-ton of charlie built in to the bulkhead
Right under the noses of all them police

Now here I sit in my house on the mountain
I'm King of the clouds and all I survey
There's women who are willing, and the law can't touch me
But yours is the one face that won't go away

Chorus
