As recorded by Echo & The Bunnymen (From the 1983 Album PORCUPINE) [Intro] D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 D Am7 [Verse 1]
D          Am7
I'm on the chopping block

         D               Am7
Chopping off my stopping thought

D              Am7
Self doubt and selfism

         D                      Am7
Were the cheapest things I ever bought

         D5           A5
When you say it's love

               D5        A5
D'you mean the back of love

         D5           A5
When you say it's love

               D5        A5
D'you mean the back of love?
[Chorus]
      D5      C5       D5 C5

D5           C5        D5
Breaking the back of love

[Verse 2]
D                Am7
Easier said than done you said

              D            Am7
But it's more difficult to say

     D                    Am7
With eyes bigger than our bellies

        D                     Am7
We want to but we can't look away

              D5          A5
What were you thinking of

         D5             A5
When you dreamt that up?

              D5         A5
What were you thinking of

         D5           A5
When you dreamt that up?
[Chorus]
D5       E5      D5 G5 A5

D                      Am7
We can't tell our left from right

       D              Am7
But we know we love extremes

D                         Am7
Getting to grips with the ups and downs

                D             Am7
Because there's nothing in between

         D5            A5
When you say that's love

               D5        A5
D'you mean the back of love

         D5            A5
When you say that's love

               D5        A5
D'you mean the back of love?
