Jimmy Buffett – Love In The Library (Guitar)

        Bm                       A
On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue

         Bm                      A
The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of kudzu

 D           A             Bm   E       A
Sirens were wailing in the Gulf Coastal heat

        G               D               E
And it seemed like the whole world was in forced retreat

Bm                   A
Paid no attention, revolved through the door

         Bm                     A
Past the newspaper racks on the worn marble floor

     D         A/C#       Bm    E         A
Near Civil War history my heart skipped a beat

        G           D                 E
She was standing in fiction stretched high on bare feet

 D           A
Love in the library

Bm E      A
Quiet and cool

 D           A
Love in the library

Bm E            A
There are no rules

    E          A
Surrounded by stories

Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime

           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library

 E           A
Once upon a time

Bm                A
I was the pirate, she was the queen

    Bm                         A
Sir Francis and Elizabeth, the best there's ever been

         D                A/C#      Bm      E      A
Then she strolled past my table and stopped at the stairs

     G         D                            E
Then sent me a smile as she reached for Flaubert

 D           A
Love in the library

Bm E      A
Quiet and cool

 D           A
Love in the library

Bm  E           A
There are no rules

    E          A
Surrounded by stories

Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime

           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library

 E           A
Once upon a time

    Em                  A
She gathered her books, walked while she read

Em                      A
Words never spoken, but so much was said

        G            F#7       Bm         Em7
You can read all you want into this rendezvous

         G          Gmaj7              Bm         A
But it's safer than most things that lovers can do

     Bm                    A
Well stories have endings, fantasies fade

        Bm                       A
And the guard by the door starts drawing the shade

   D              A/C#       Bm      E     A
So write your own ending and hope it comes true

        G          D            E
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue

 D           A
Love in the library

Bm E      A
Quiet and cool

 D           A
Love in the library

Bm E            A

    E          A
