-Verse 1 
C5                         F5 
Maybe that it would do me good 
     F5                    G5 
If I believed there were a god 
           G5        C5 
Cut in the starry firmament 
                          F5 
But as it is that's just a lie 
              F5           G* 
And I'm here eating up the boredom 
      G5      C5 
On an island of cement 
                          F5 
Give me your ecstasy I'll feel it 
        F5             G5 
Open window and I'll steal it 
     G5              A5 
Baby like it's heaven sent 
              G5                  F5   F5 
This ain't no love that's guiding me 
 
-Verse 2  

Some days i'm bursting at the seams 

with all my half remembered dreams 

and then it shoots me down again 

i feel the dampness as it creeps 

I hear you coughing in your sleep 

beneath a broken window pane 

tomorrow girl i'll buy you chips 

a lollipop to stain your lips 

and it'll all be right as rain    Am 
             G5                  F5    G5  A5 
this ain't no love that's guiding me 
             G5                  F5    F5 
this ain't no love that's guiding me 
 

C5   F5    G5        C5   F5    G5 
no i-t a-in't no love     guiding me 
C5   F5    G5        C5   F5    G5 
no i-t a-in't no love     guiding me 
C5   F5    G5        C5   F5    G5        C5  F5  G5  A5 
no i-t a-in't no love     guiding me 
 

             G5                   F5   G5  A5 
this ain't no love that's guiding me 
             G5                   F5   F5 
this ain't no love that's guiding me 
 
on winter trees the fruit of rain 

is hanging trembling in the branches 

like a thousand diamond buds 

and waiting there in every pause 

that old familiar fear that claws you 

tells you nothing ain't no good 

then pulling back you see it all 

down here so laughable and small 

hardly a quiver in the dirt    Am 
             G5                   F5   F5 finish - C5 
this ain't no love that's guiding me
