Ryan Adams – How Do You Keep Love Alive (Ukulele)

F                    C
Lord, I miss that girl

C                      F                        
On the day we met the sun was shining down

F                             C
Down on the valley

              C         
Riddled with horses running

F
Crushing them with flowers

F             C          C
I would have picked for her

         F
On the day she was born

F                   C            C            
She runs through my veins like a long black river

       F
And rattles my cage like a thunderstorm

F       C
Oh my soul

Am
What does it mean?

                F
What does it mean?

             C             Am
What does it mean to be so sad?

Am
When someone you love

            F                   C
Someone you love is supposed to make you happy

                           C/Fadd9/C/Fadd9
How do you keep love alive?

C/Fadd9/C
When it won't

F                  C
What, what are the words

     C             F
They use when they know it's over

F            C
"We need to talk," or

         C                    F
"I'm confused, maybe later you can come over"

F          C          C
I would've held your mother's hand

        F
On the day you was born

F                    C
She runs through my veins

           C                F
Like a long black river and rattles my cage

F        C
Oh, my soul

Am
What does it mean?

              F
What does it mean?

             C              Am
What does it mean to be so sad?

Am
When someone you love

            F                   C

                        C/Fadd9/C/Fadd9
How do you keep love alive?

C/Fadd9/C/Fadd9
When it won't

C/Fadd9/C/Fadd9
How do you keep love alive?
