D5  B5  B5  G5
Guess i wasn't the best one to ask
D5  B5  B5  G5
me myself with my face pressed up against love's glass
E5  D5
to see the shiny toy i've been hoping for
G5  A5  A5 
the one i never can afford
D5  B5
the wide world spins and spits turmoil
B5  G5
and the nations toil for peace
D5  B5
but the paws of fear upon your chest
B5  G5
only love can soothe that beast
E5  D5
and my words are paper tigers
G5  A5  A5
no match for the predator of pain inside her
D5  A5  G5
i say love will come to you
D5  A5  G5
hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true
B5  D5  G5
as if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
A5  A5  D5 
where there's now one there will be two
D5  B5  B5  G5
i was born under the sign of cancer
D5  B5  B5  G5
 like brushing cloth i smooth the wrinkles for an answer
E5  D5
i'm always closing my eyes wishing i'm fine
G5  A5  A5
even though i know i'm not this time
D5  A5  G5
i say love will come to you
D5  A5  G5
hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true
B5  D5  G5
as if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through
A5  A5  D5 
where there's now one there will be two
E5  D5
dodging your memories a field of knives
G5  A5  A5
always on the outside looking in on other's lives
D5  A5  G5
i say love will come to you
D5  A5  G5 
hoping just because i spoke the words that they're true
B5   D5  G5
as if i've offered up a crystal ball to look through
A5  A5  D5
where there's now one there will be two
B5  G5
and i wish her insight to battle love's blindness
B5  D5  G5
strength from the milk of human kindness
B5  D5  E5
a safe place for all the pieces that scattered
G5  D5  E5  A5  A5  D5
learn to pretend there's more than love that matters
