Tom: D

     D       G                 D          G
when my love    stands next to your love,
           D          G           D         G
I can't compare love    when it's not love.
     D         G       D          G
It's not love;    It's not love
         D        G             D         G
Which is my face,    which is a building,

(the chords start here)


            D      G
which is on fire
   D     G
on fire.

so the whole song is just D for one measure and G for the next.  It 

changes at the instrumental with the horns before 'I got two loves'
          | : F     C     C     G : | 
Which is on fire 

then it instantly goes back to D and G until the final chord which is a 
D.  it sounds cool if, after the instrumental you strum the D chord with 
long strums while you strum the G chord withfour staccato quarter note 
hits.
