C5        Em          G5
My song is love
C5                  Em                   G5
Love to the loveless shown
C5          Em    G
And it goes on
F5               C                   G5
You don't have to be alone

C5            Em       G5
Your heavy heart
C5           Em      G5 / F
Is made of stone
C5                  Em                    G5
And it's so hard to see you clearly
F5                    C                    G5
You don't have to be on your own
F5                   C                      G5
You don't have to be on your own

F5                  C                     G5
And I'm not gonna take it back
F5                 C                      G5
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that
F5                C                        G5
You're the target that I'm aiming at
F                C                       G5
Can i get that message home?

(there is some crazy riff with some super reverb and reverse right here, its mostly 
with this chord, and since i dont know the name of it, im just going to make a tab of it).

C         Em          G
My song is love
C         Em          G
My song is love unknown,
C         Em          G
But I'm on fire freely, clearly
F               C                   G
You don't have to be alone
F               C                   G
You don't have to be on your own

F                  C                     G
And I'm not gonna take it back
F                 C                      G
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that
F                C                        G
You're the target that I'm aiming at
F                C                       G
And I'm nothing on my own
F                C                       G

F                  C                     G
And I'm not gonna stand and wait
F                  C                     G
I'm not gonna leave it until it's much too late
F                  C                     G
On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say
F                  C                     G
That I'm nothing on my own
F                  C                     G
And I love you, please come home

My song is love, is love unknown?
F              C                   G          C
And I've got to get that message home.
