Chords

"How We Love" from the album Human Again By Ingrid Michaelson [Verse]
D     
I knew a man who was afraid to love

D
to lay his heart on the bathroom rug

Bm                          G
he drank his coffee in the same old mug

D
and sat in silence 'til the world fell numb

D
until the day when a girl came by

D
she had eyes like the rising tide

Bm                   G
he felt a sharpness deep inside

D
the kind of ache that can't be satisfied
[Chorus]
G            A            Bm           G
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes

A            Bm           G         D
but how we love when it washes our cars

G           A            Bm           G
we love to love when it fills up the room

A             Bm             G           D
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
[Verse]
D
so he turned to the radio

D
and he went to a picture show

Bm                     G
tried to find someone else who knows

D
all the hurt that a heart can hold

D
she smelled like cinnamon and winter clove

D
and sparked like firewood inside a stove

Bm                         G
wanted to ask her just to sit and stay

D
instead he watched as she walked away
[Chorus]
G            A            Bm            G
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes

A           Bm            G          D
but how we love when it washes our cars

G            A           Bm           G
we love to love when it fills up the room

A             Bm             G            D
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
[Bridge] Bm, G, D, A,Bm, G, A)x2 [Chorus]
G            A            Bm           G
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes

A            Bm           G         D
but how we love when it washes our cars

G           A            Bm           G
we love to love when it fills up the room

A             Bm             G           D
but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
