Old 97's – Love Is What You Are (Ukulele)

               F
She picks up a pen

              C
Writes down a word

                G
It doesn't feel right

              F
The novelty's gone

                C
The novel rolls on

               G
Until it's goodnight

            F
Will anyone read

               C
Much less understand

                   G
This thing she has made?

            F
Will anyone see

                  C
The truth of this thing

                 G
When it sees the light?

G                F
Love is what you are

             C  G
Not what you do

                F
I know what you are

      C    G
And I love you

                 F
The dream of her man

              C
Propels her along

           G
Into her demise

                 F
The hollowed out laugh

                   C
At the back of her throat

                G
The film of her eyes

                F
She hardly puts down

                   C
This thing she has bound

              G
Before she forgets

               F
She writes the end

C                    G
  But there is no surprise

G                F
Love is what you are

             C  G
Not what you do

                F
I know what you are

      C    G
And I love you

G                F
Love is what you are

             C  G
Not what you do

                F
I know what you are

      C    G
And I love you

      C    G
And I love you

      C    G
And I love you
