Chords

[Intro] D D D D [Verse]
D     A          Bm    D
  The phone don't ring, no no

Em7        D/F#           G     
   And the sun refused to shine

        A                   Bm  A  G D/F#
  Never thought I'd have to pay so dearly

Em             D/F#    G
  For what was already mine

Bm    E7                A  
  For such a long, long time
[Chorus]
G  A    D         A
We made mad love, shadow love

G                D
Random love and abandoned love

D                     A
  Accidentally like a martyr

C               G         
  The hurt gets worse 

                   D
and the heart gets harder

G  A    D         A
We made mad love, shadow love

G                D
Random love and abandoned love

D                     A
  Accidentally like a martyr

C               G         
  The hurt gets worse 

                   D
and the heart gets harder
[Chorus Solo]* D A G D D D A A C G D D [Verse]
D     A          Bm    D
  The days slide by

Em7                D/F#                
Should have done, should have done, 

       G
we all sigh

      A                Bm A  G   D/F#
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely

Em      D/F#              G
  After such a long, long time

Bm    E7          A  
      Time out of mind
[Chorus]
G  A    D         A
We made mad love, shadow love

G                D
Random love and abandoned love

D                     A
  Accidentally like a martyr

C               G         
  The hurt gets worse 

                   D
and the heart gets harder

G  A    D         A
We made mad love, shadow love

G                D
Random love and abandoned love

D                     A
  Accidentally like a martyr

C               G         
  The hurt gets worse 

                   D
and the heart gets harder
[Chorus Solo]* D A G D D D A A C G D D *Note: the solo breaks in this song are difficult to tab as they are piano-based, independent of the verse or chorus, and use multiple keys and time signatures. See comments for details. I have substituted a chorus break instead to solo over. Transpose +3 (F) for original key.
