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)
   Bm            A                                       Bm

Riff 3
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
