Leave Your Love

This version requires no capo and is easily played along with the studio version. 
It requires a deal of creativity for pull offs and whatnot so don't be afraid to 
be creative. 

The intro and verse chords I tend to play with the two top strings open
E 022100 F#m 244200 A 577400

E F#m A

    E                             F#m    A
And look at her dance Look at her move so slowly
       E                                F#m    A
On the old wooden floors With the radio on.

     E
And every little change in the universe 
   F#m                          A
It makes her heart shake and her stomach burst
          E                                      F#m A
And she's holding on tight but she's moving so fast.

E F#m A

    E                                      F#m      A
And when I come home She's already in the bedroom sleeping
          E                              F#m A
With her headphones on And a bottle of wine.

     E       
And every little word that I say to her 
      F#m                    A
It buzzes in her mind like hummingbirds
             E                                     F#m    A
And they're hanging on tight but they're moving so fast.


Bm                A                E
She will make the moon rise in the morning.
Bm           A                E
She is not afraid to fall in love.
Bm              A                C             Am
Every time she dreams I hear her crying in her sleep.
  E F#m A E F#m A
Emily, Emily.

Am                      D
She is waiting for your love.
Am                      G    D
She is waiting for your honesty.
Am                      D
Every time she falls in love,
       Em    Em/F# G D C
Ya she falls apart again
       Em   Em/F# G D A
Ya she falls apart again.

 E                                     F#m      A
Emily is alright She's waiting for the dust to settle
        E                               F#m A
On the old wooden floors With the radio on.

      E                        
And every little change in the universe
   F#m                            A
It makes her heart shake and her stomach burst
          E                                    F#m  A
And she's holding on tight but she's moving so fast.

Bm                A                E
She will make the moon rise in the morning.
Bm           A                E
She is not afraid to fall in love.
Bm              A                C             Am
Every time she dreams I hear her crying in her sleep.
  E F#m A E F#m A
Emily, Emily.



I incorporate a lot of transitional base runs into this because they REALLY fit. 
Mostly on E so it sounds like the piano in the studio version. 
(I'm not sold on the Am at the end of the bridge. It fit best but I'm open to suggestion!)
