A    
I guess they never told you how the Globe burned down,

But it aint no secret, just ask around
     D
Some heart-sick man fed up with his fate
A
Torched it to the ground in a desperate state
          D
Hed grown tired of the tragedies, tired of the death
A 
Tired of watching Romeo take one last breath
    E                     A
For something as crazy as love


[Verse]
    A

So when she first kissed him, I heard him beg and plead
           D
He saw the storm on the water, he felt every swell
        A
He was on top of a mountain then in the belly of a whale
           D
Cause some days its a fountain or an artesian well,
     A
Sometimes its a bag of bricks or some kind of spell
       E                  A
Theres nothing as wild as love


[Verse]
A
He wasnt much for religion, but he learned to pray

For occasions when the wine led his mind astray
           D
He built a chapel for his conscience, a shack for his regrets
     A
Sent desire to an island still he could not forget
     D
The sound of her touch, the color of her son
  A
A jumble of words, where a space belongs
    E                      A
For something as simple as love
