[Intro]
Em Bm Asus2/E Em Bm Asus2/E
[Verse 1]
Em
When routine bites hard
Bm Asus2/E
And ambitions... are low
Em
And resentment rides high
Bm Asus2/E
And emotions... won't grow
Em
So we're changing our ways,
Bm Asus2/E
Taking different... roads
[Chorus]
Em Bm Asus2/E
But love, love will tear us apart... again
Em Bm Asus2/E
love, love will tear us apart... again
[Interlude]
Em Bm Asus2/E
[Verse 2]
Em
Why is the bedroom so cold
Bm Asus2/E
You turned away on your... side?
Em
Is my timing that flawed?
Bm Asus2/E
And our respect run so... dry
Em
Yet there's still this appeal
Bm Asus2/E
That we’ll keep through our... lives
[Chorus]
Em Bm Asus2/E
But you know, love, love will tear that apart... again
Em Bm Asus2/E
love, it will tear it apart... again
[Interlude]
Asus4/E Asus2/E Asus4/E Asus2/E Asus4/E Asus2/E Em Bm Asus2/E Em Bm Asus2/E
[Verse 3](louder)
Em
Do you cry out in your sleep
Bm Asus2/E
With all my failings... exposed?
Em
Yeah there's that taste in your mouth
Bm Asus2/E
As desperation... takes hold
Em
Well that something so fucking good
Bm Asus2/E
It just won't function no more
[Chorus]
Em Bm Asus2/E
love, love will tear us apart... again
Em Bm Asus2/E
Yeah love, love will tear us apart... again
Em Bm Asus2/E
lo-ve, love will tear us apart... again
