[Verse 1]
F#m7 Amaj7
True love is a rose
Bm F#
Behind glass that's locked and kept closed
A
Maybe just to me 'cause my heart's been
C G/B F
attacked and shattered by tough love
E
Bad love
[Verse 2]
F#m7 Amaj7
So I bought mine off the street
Bm F#
True love, man, it just can't be beat
A
I felt so complete
C G/B F E
Married to heavenly bodies above
[Bridge]
Fmaj7
And each night I'd look up
Am E7sus E
At a bright honey moon
(riff)
[Verse 3]
F#m7 Amaj7
'Cause it sure seemed built to last
Bm F#
And even after my honeymoon passed
A
I kept right with it, man
C G/B F E
Like a ghost to a house it once haunted
[Verse 4]
F#m7 Amaj7
And day after day
Bm F#
I'd steal with my true love away
A
To some hideout
C
We're left undisturbed
G/B F E
We could do what we wanted
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 Am
But I started to feel like a liar
Esus E
Saying I love you
[Chorus]
D C
She was madly in love or mad mean
B
There was no in between
E
It raised my alarm
D C
I found I can't make a stand
B
I'm her hired hand
E
I have to do harm
[Verse 5]
F#m7 Amaj7
One day I got sick
Bm F#
She played me a nasty old trick
A
Said, "I need cigarettes"
C G/B
Walked 'round the block
F E
Caught a cab
[Verse 6]
F#m7 Amaj7
Stayed gone for too long
Bm F#
My love had gotten so strong
A C
Just to try being back on my own
G/B F E
I had to go to rehab
[Chorus]
D C B
All I need is a safe place to bleed
E
Is this where it's at?
D C
Half of no chance steps in a dance
B E
Rest of my life spent in combat
[Verse 7]
F#m7 Amaj7
Now I'm the king of the ward
Bm F#
'Cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
A
And puke it out for the doctor
C G/B F E
To write me a new prescription
[Verse 8]
F#m7 Amaj7
Tranquil as a dove
Bm F#
People that have lost their true love
A C G/B F E
They all seem to fit the same description
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 Am
I feel cold, useless and old
E E7sus E
I wish I was no one
[Outro]
A Amaj7 A Amaj7
Take me up, my Lord
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
