D
I'm so afraid of saying something wrong
          G
There's a real danger in saying nothing at all
          D
That I'll go back to the rabbit and drink, yeah
G
Half-cut, fired up, say what I think
            D
That you're funny, interesting, too
         G
That the air warms up when you walk in the room
       D
That I still dream about the night we met
      G                      Gm
How I don't mean it now as I meant it then


[Chorus]
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love?
D                         G
What could ever hurt this much?
D                       G
What if you're the only one?


[Verse 2]
D
So let me in, let me in from out of the cold
     G
I'm okay, I'm doing fine -- the greatest lie ever told
     D
Even I don't recognize reflections of mine
             G                   Gm
When I'm the next call down the emergency line, I'll say


[Chorus]
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love?
D                         G
What could ever hurt this much?
D                       G
What if you're the only one?
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love?


[Bridge]
       D
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       G
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       D
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       G
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       D
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       G
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       D
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       G
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       D
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean


[Chorus]
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love?
D                         G
What could ever hurt this much?
D                       G
What if you're the only one? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean)
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love? (It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean)


[Bridge]
           D
Oh, it's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?)
       G
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean
       D
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean (What could be as lonely as love?)
       G
It's a cruel tide, a violent ocean


[Outro]
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love?
D                          G
What could be as lonely as love?
