The Elected - It Was Love Chords & Tabs

Note: At some points I feel C and Am are interchangable and work just as well. It's up to you.

Capo 1

Intro
G Am G C G D


G       Am
Found a way 
   G     C
To break away
         G
From the one 
                 D
You say that you love
        G            Am
Now you cry out your eyes
G       C             G
Day and night you set free
                 D
The one that you love

         C
And it's true
        D
I don't remember you 
        Em                         D
But I'd believe if you say that we met
      C
I get confused
                 D
Nights I've been wondering
  Em                    D
I thought I was already dead


            Am
But man I loved
       D 
Yeah I loved
        Em
When I loved
       G
It was love
       Am
It was love
      D
Or at least
                 G
The closest I've come


G Am G C G C G Am G


        G           Am
And the coffee, the cream
    G           C
The blood in my dreams
        G
Are the ones
                 D
That you used to know
        G       Am        
And the gas the plane 
    G     C
The interstate
         G
Live the ones
                  D
You don't have to know

       C
And I regret
             D
This sad and awful truth
       Em                        D
But my mouth it'll get away from me
C               D    
You, I just put up with you,
       Em                        D
Kid, I stayed cause you wouldn't leave

         Am
Remember love?
    D
Oh, love
        Em
When we loved
       G
It was love
       Am
It was love
      D                       G
Or at least, as close as I've come


G C G Am G


    C             D
And maybe Joan was running all alone
    Em                   G
And there is a shortcut, home
          Am
Putting a gun to your brain
        D                 G
Man, to take all that you got


C G Am G


        C                      D
And the truth, that I was just scared for you,
        Em                        D
But for me that's the way that it comes
             C                 D      
You'd gotten used to me and my awful tongue
    Em                       D
But god, didn't we have some fun?


             Am
When we made love
       D
In the van
      Em                         G
And I drove with your hand on my lap
             Am            D
And when San Diego got too unkind
        Em                      G
We just picked up and left em behind
                Am
And we had some love
         D
And some hope
               Em                  G
A full tank of gas and a wide open road
       Am
It was love
   D
To us
                   Em
It was all that we had
            Am
And there's days
         D
You just break
                   Em
The best thing you have
                    C
But I still call it love
    D                          G
For now, it's the closest I've come.
