C G It knocked me down, it dragged me out, it left me there for dead C F It took all the freedom I wanted and gave me something else instead C F It blew my mind, it bled me dry, it hit me like a long goodbye Am G F And nobody here knows better than I that it's a good thing A Love is a good thing [Chorus 1] Dm C It'll fall like rain on your parade Bb Laugh at the plans that you tried to make F C It'll wear you down till your heart just breaks Bb And it's a good thing F Bb F Bb Love is a good thing [Verse 2] C G It'll wake you up in the middle of the night, it'll take just a little too much C F It'll burn you like a cinder till you're tender to the touch C F It'll chase you down, and swallow you whole, it'll make your blood run hot and cold Am G F Like a thief in the night it'll steal your soul, and that's a good thing A Love is a good thing [Chorus 2] Dm C It'll follow you down to the ruin of your great divide Bb Open the wounds that you tried to hide F C And there in the rubble of the heart that died Bb You'll find a good thing F Bb Cause love is a good thing F Bb Oh love is a good thing [Bridge] C F Ooo, take cover C F Ooo, the end is near C F Ooo, take cover C But do not fear F Do not fear [Verse 3] C Cause it'll break your will, it'll change your mind F Loose all the chains of the ties that bind Am G F If you're lucky you'll never make it out alive, and that's a good thing A Love is a good thing [Chorus 3] Dm C It can hurt like a blast from a hand grenade Bb When all that used to matter is blown away F C Bb There in the middle of the mess it made you'll find a good thing F C Bb Yes, it's worth every penny of the price you pay. It's a good thing F Bb Love is a good thing --(Ooo, take cover,) F Bb Love is a good thing --(Ooo, the end is near,) F Bb Oh love is a good thing --(Ooo, take cover.) F Do not fear
