Riff 1
So you never knew love until you crossed the line of grace
and you never felt wanted till you had someone slap your face
so you never felt alive until you almost wasted away
Bm
You had to win
A
you couldn’t just pass
the smartest ass
Bm
at the top of the class
your flying colours
A
your family tree
Bm
and all your lessons in history
Riff 2
Please…please…please…get up off your knees…
please…please…please…please
Riff 1
And you never knew how low you’d stoop to make that call
and you never knew what was on the ground till they made you crawl
and you never knew that the heaven you keep you stole
Bm
Your catholic blues
A
your convent shoes
your stick on tatoos
Bm
now they’re making the news
your holy war
A
your northern star
your sermon on the mount
Bm
from the boot of your car
Riff 2
Please…please…please…get up off your knees…
please…please…please…leave me out of this please
Bm A A Bm
So love is hard and love is tough
Bm A Em Bm
but love is not what you’re thinking of
Riff 3 (wah-wah)

September…streets capsizing…spilling over down the rain…
shards of glass splinters like rain but you could only feel your own pain…
october…talking getting nowhere…
november…december…remember…
are we just starting again…

So love is big bigger than us
but love is not what you’re thinking of
Riff 6
it’s what lovers deal it’s what lovers steal
you know I’ve found it hard to receive
Bm A Em Riff 7
’cause you my love I could never believe
