Lovetown

	  		Lovetown  

Peter Gabriel 


Em                     C                   Am 
    People go naked,     and pick up these trails 
Em                     C                  Am 
    someone before me,    laid down these rails 
Bm                      Em 
when it’s loaded up too heavy, 
C             D                Em 
this engine,  fails--   in lovetown 
D           Em               
    I can’t settle down-        
D                Em                      D 
    and do those teeth,  still match the wound 
       C                  D        Em 
take a good look around     in lovetown 

D              Em               D         Em

Em                              C                    Am 
Sometimes, you’re stormy water    on which I pour my oil 
Em                       C                         Am 
in each others shadow,    the roots reach into the soil 
Bm                           Em 
 all these knots, so tightly tied, 
C                  D                 Em 
    we could not uncoil--     in lovetown 
D           Em                
no place to settle down-        
D               Em                     D 
   and do those teeth, still match the wound 
       C                   D             Em 
take a good look around           in lovetown

Em             Am              D                 Em 
Who’s,  lonely lips,      will find these hidden scars 
Em               Am            D               Em 
Who’s,  seen the kisses,        left in dimlit bars 
Em                 Am           D                      Em 
Who’s,  out in the streets,      looking for love like ours 
Em                 C                 Am 
Who’s,  looking in lovetown,      to-night---------- 

Em         C          Am 

Am                    Em        C        Am 
Have you got what you want 
Am                    Em        C        Am 
have you got what you need 
              C                 Am 
with what you did, and what you saw---- 
        Em          C       Am 
did you find, you,  needed  more--- 
         Em         C        Am 
have you got, what, you came for--- 
                  Em          C          Am                 Em 
are you really so sure---                 are you really so sure
