Love & Theft

Capo 2
Intro: D  G   A  (x2)

D
Well I don't understand why we 
G           A             D    G A
Do what we do to each other
D
According to His word we're 
            G           A     D  G  A
All born sisters and brothers

        G           A
But we lie and we steal
  G            A
Fight and we kill
       G                 A
Even though we know the way

 D              G          A
Why do we go dancing in circles
      D      G         A
When we know it never ends
Bm          F#m        G          D/F#
We come so close to loving each other
     Em      A
And then, we go dancing in circles again

D  G   A  (x2)

 D 
All through the ages we 
 G                  A       D      G  A
Try to share this world together
 D                    G
Turning the pages, pretending 
        A         D      G   A
We'll live here forever

 G                 A
But we'll have to face
 G          A
Our maker someday
     G                            A
And reap what we've sown all the way

 D              G          A
Why do we go dancing in circles
      D      G         A
When we know it never ends

Bm          F#m       G          D/F#
We come so close to loving each other
     Em      A        
And then, we go dancing in circles again

 D           A
And we know how so
 G
Why can't we just get it right?
    D         A
And I pray someday
         G
We'll overcome all the damage we've done
            D
And we'll fight

G  C

 [NC]          G           A
Why do we go dancing in circles
      D           G    A
When we know it never ends

We come so close to loving each other
     Em           A
And then, we go dancing in circles again
