Song title:      If It's Love
Original Album:  Frank

Words and Music by Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook

NOTES:
In the VERSEs, substitute the respective riffs instead of strumming the chords.
If you're 2 guitars, even better! One can play the riffs and the other the
chords. (For each chord, play the corresponding riff twice.) You can fret with
your first three fingers and use your little finger to play the G-F# bit on
the 2nd string.

In the CHORUSes, you could also pick the chords instead of strumming.
Try it out and see what you think. Enjoy! This is a great song.

VERSE:
Chords:
D  xx0232
A  x02220

        D
If it's love, that would really explain it
      A
How I feel like I'm covered in wool
        D
If it's love, then it's really exciting
   A
My diary's become very full


CHORUS:
Chords:
G   355433    E 022100
F#m 244222    C x35553

        G            F#m
If it's love does it matter
       G           F#m
If I'm thin or I'm fatter
        E            C                       G
If it's love then it feels like I've won the pools


VERSE:
If it's love, then it needs some devotion
And I feel like I'm walking on air
If it's love, then I feel like I'm floating
Through my world without knowing who's there


CHORUS:
Chords:
G   355433    Eb  x68886
F#m 244222    Bb  688766
E   022100    Dm  x57765
C   x35553    D   x57775

        G            F#m
If it's love someone slap me
        G            F#m
Is this me that's so happy
        E             C                     G
If it's love then I'm laughing like I don't care

        C            Eb              Bb           Dm
If it's love then my teeth are clean for a change    (oh!)
        C         Eb             Bb         D
If it's love then that's why I'm feeling so strange


[play: VERSE riffs]


VERSE:
If it's love, then I need it forever
Like the beats that keep time in my heart
If it's love, then I fall like a feather
I'm an egg in the teeth of a shark


CHORUS:
If it's love, I'm inspired
I'm up late, I'm not tired
If it's love then my world is about to spark

If it's love then my teeth are clean for a change
If it's love then that's why I'm feeling so strange


OUTRO:
        D                         A
If it's love, love love love love love!
If it's love, love love love love love!
If it's love, love love love love love!
If it's love, love love love love love!
