Verse #1

     D               G         Bm
We've all got scars as big as ours
G               G
A token for the pain we hide inside of us
Bm                        G       D 
Everyone's scared that somebody knows
    G                   G
You push it aside, yeah that's how it goes.

         D             G          Bm
If you've ever heard a beating heart
  G              G
A rhythm for the songs we're too afraid to sing
Bm                    G         D   
Nobody here is perfectly fine
G                   G
A delicate frame, a fragile design...


Pre-Chorus

Em                         
If there's a hole in your heart
D                  
You gotta pull it together
G                         
It takes the courage to start, 
A
But now is better than never

Em                          
It takes a push and a shove
D                  
Somehow it's never enough
G                     A
And its alarming how quickly we forget that


Chorus

G                        D
Nothing's bigger than love
       A                     Bm  A
Oh oh, nothing's bigger than love, love, love
G                         D
Nothing's bigger than love
       A                           Bm
Oh oh, all you need, all you need, all you need is love


D - G - Bm - G


Verse #2

         D             G          Bm
Some people change and some just won't
  G                     G
You can't take back the words you wish you'd never said
Bm                    G         D   
Promises break and lovers will lie
  G                     G
You hold up your hands and let out a sigh.

         D             G          Bm
So smile right before you fall
  G                     G
And lay beside this mess and call it consequence
Bm                    G         D   
Somebody said that life isn't fair
  G                     G
When somebody else was saying a prayer


Chorus

G                        D
Nothing's bigger than love
       A                     Bm  A
Oh oh, nothing's bigger than love, love, love
G                         D
Nothing's bigger than love
       A                           Bm
Oh oh, all you need, all you need, all you need is...


Bridge

Em                      
No one's taking me out, 
G
Nothing's pulling me down
D
I turn my head to the crowd
A
This love is big and its loud.

Em                         
This is a car in the crash, 
G
this is the light in the flash
D
This is the answers you know
A
But you're just too scared to ask


Pre-Chorus

Em                         
If there's a hole in your heart
D               
You gotta pull it together
G                         
It takes the courage to start, 
A
But now is better than never

Em                          
It takes a push and a shove
D                     
Somehow it's never enough
G                     A
Somehow it's never enough...


Chorus

G                        D
Nothing's bigger than love
       A                     Bm  A
Oh oh, nothing's bigger than love, love, love, love
G                         D
Nothing's bigger than love
       A                           Bm
Oh oh, all you need, all you need, all you need is...
