Em                   D
   And the night was filled with laughter

Em         Am              D
   Echoing through painted smiles

Em            D
   And I knew each morning after

Em                Em
   I never loved,    was never touched

D                   D
   Gave not at all,   got back as much

     Fmaj7     G
In the comfort of,

  Fmaj7                 G B7
A modern day version of love

Em                 D
   Julie, how I've cursed the sweet taste

Em                  Am          D
   Of lips that ask so much of me

Em                D
   Still I wonder with every embrace

Em              Em
   Could I give    and not break

D                D
   Should I care   and forsake,

       Fmaj7      G
All the  comfort of

  Fmaj7                 B7
A modern day version of love

Em
   Close my eyes and keep on runnin'

                               Am
Realize it isn't gonna work anymore

D    G   B7
For me

Em
   I'm afraid, well maybe that's somethin'

   Am
Of anything

D   G       B7       B7
Be-fore, not before ______

Em                   D
   Barefoot child on streets of cinder

Em                    Am        D
   Sleeping child the morning calls

Em                     D
   Pray for spring but taste the winter

Em                Em
   Take the hand,    taste the kiss

D               D
   Leave behind   the emptiness

       Fmaj7    G
And the comfort of

  Fmaj7                 G B7
A modern day version of love
