Verse 1:
D A D B7
Get out of the car put down the phone
Em C Em A
take off that stupid looking hat you wear
D A D B7
I’m gonna die if you touch me one more time
Em C Em A
well I guess that I’m gonna die no matter what
Chorus:
G A
Love people are there
D A G
the smell of love is everywhere
A G
you think it’s always sensitive and good
Em G
you think that I want to be understood
Em Bm G A D
I’ve got a match — your embrace and my collapse
Verse 2:
Beat up the cat if you want someone else on the mat
I put a rock in the coffee in your coffee mug
which one of us is the one that we can’t trust?
you say that I think it’s you but I don’t agree with that
Chorus:
Love people are there
the smell of love is everywhere
You think that it’s all sensitive and good
You think that I want to be understood?
I’ve got a match — your embrace and my collapse even when we get along
I’ve got a match — your embrace and my collapse
Chorus:
Love people are there
the smell of love is everywhere
Why can’t you be sensitive and good
Why dont you want to be understood?
I’ve got a match — your embrace and my collapse
I’ve got a match — your embrace and my collapse
