Chords

------------------------------------------------- Tabbed this about a year ago on the piano. With capo on the first fret it should be right on the money. The piano chords are a step up from these. C -> C# ------------------------------------------------- [Intro]
C           Em  G
My song is love

C            Em        G
Love to the loveless shown

C           Em  G
And it goes on

           F      C    G
You don't have to be alone

C           Em  G
Your heavy heart

C           Em  G F C
Is made of stone

C            Em      G
And it's so hard to see clearly

          F        C          G
You don't have to be on your own

           F        C         G
You don't have to be on your own
[Chorus]
Dm                 C       G
And I'm not gonna take it back

Dm                       C          G
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that

Dm                          C      G
You're the target that I'm aiming at

          F        C        G
And I'll get that message home
[Verse]
C          Em  G
My song is love

C           Em       G   F C
My song is love, unknown

C           Em        G
But I'm on fire for you, clearly

           F      C    G
You don't have to be alone

           F         C        G
You don't have to be on your own
[Chorus]
Dm                 C       G
And I'm not gonna take it back

Dm                      C           G
And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that

Dm                          C     G
You're the target that I'm aiming at

        F       C      G
But I'm nothing on my own

        F       C       G
Got to get that message home
[Instrumental] | Dm | C | G | x2 [Chorus]
Dm                 C         G
And I'm not gonna stand and wait

Dm                            C        G
Not gonna leave it until it's much too late

Dm                       C         G
On a platform I'm gonna stand and say

          F      C      G
That I'm nothing on my own

       F          C          G
That I love you, please come home
[Instrumental] | F | C | G | Am | x2 ---- These are quick and quiet [Outro]
   F        C        G    Am
My song is love, is love unknown

         F       C        G      C
And I've got to get that message home

I like to play the C's like this on the chorus (Cadd9).
e|---3--|
B|---3--|
G|---0--|
D|---2--|
A|---3--|
E|------|
makes it easier to switch to the G's
But the original position works too!
Love this song! ([email protected])
