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)

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...

Riff 5
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
