True Love

	  		





F#m            Amaj7       Bm 
True love is a rose behind glass 
     riff2           F# 
It's locked and kept closed 
              A                         B C 
Maybe just to me 'cause my heart's been attacked 
GM7          F           E        riff1 
Shattered by tough love, bad love 
F#m                    Amaj7        
so bought mine off the street 
     Bm            riff2         F# 
true love, man, it just can't be beat 
             A              B C        Gm7    F     E 
I felt so complete, married to heavenly bodies above 

         Fmaj7                Am          E11/9-  E 
And each night I look up at a bright honeymoon 

          F#m                  Amaj7 
'cause it sure seemed built to last 
         Bm       riff2     F#          A 
and even after my honeymoon past I kept right with that, man, 
    B C            GM7           F       E 
Like a ghost to the house it once haunted 
F#m           Amaj7 
And day after day 
    Bm            riff2      F# 
I'd steal with my true love away 
        A                 B C 
To some hideout we left undisturbed 
         GM7        F      E 
we could do what we wanted 

      Fmaj7                  Am             E11/9-     E 
But I started to feel like a liar saying "I love you" 

        Dm                     C                      Bb 
She was madly in love, and mad mean there was no in-between 
             E   riff1 
It raised my alarm 
  Dm                   C                   Bb 
I found I can't make a stand i'm her hired hand 
             E   riff1 
I have to do harm 

F#m           Amaj7     Bm          riff2     F# 
One day I got sick, she played me a nasty old trick 
A                     B 
Said, "I need cigarettes" 
C                 Gm7          F     E 
Walked around the block caught a cab 
F#m                 Amaj7  
Stayed gone for too long 
   Bm       riff2      F# 
My love had gotten too strong 
        A                      B C 
Just to try to getting back on my own 
         GM7   F    E riff 
I had to go to rehab 

Dm    C                       Bb 
All I need is a safe place to bleed 
                   E   riff1 
Is this where it's at? 
Dm         C                  
Half of no chance, steps in a dance 
Bb                      E    
rest of my live spin in combat 

riff1       A             Amaj7 
Now I'm the    king of the ward 
           Asus4                 A6 
'cause I'm good and I swallow my sword 
A                         B C       Gm7    F        E    
Puke it up for the doctor to write a new prescription 
F#m           Amaj7 
tranquil as a dove 
Bm               riff2           F# 
people that have lost their true love 
     A        B C       Gm7    F         E 
that all seem to fit the same description 

       Fmaj7             Am 
I feel cold, useless and old 
           E11/9-  E 
Wish I was no one 

A Amaj7 A Amaj7 

A      Amaj7  A   Amaj7 
Take me up, my love 
A      Amaj7  A   Amaj7 
Take me up   today 
A      Amaj7       A    Amaj7 
Take me out of this place 
A      Amaj7         A   Amaj7 
Take me up with you today
