E (F#)  G#m (F#)  B D#m

[Verse 1]
           E
Oh love, believe me
            (F#)         G#m
Nothing ever comes to us easy
                 (F#)       B
The river's never run up to meet me
                        D#m
Gotta find your own way down


[Verse 2]
            E
And in this cruel storm
                (F#)        G#m
Love you got my back like a fog-horn
          (F#)         B
Anything I lack can be reborn
                  D#m
Anytime you come around


[Verse 3]
                E
But where d'you turn to
              (F#)              G#m
Wandering the streets that have spurned you
                     (F#)     B
Love, it's just that nobody's earned you
                         D#m
But I will never let you down


[Chorus]
E                       (F#)             G#m
Oh love, running down my skin like it's too much
                   (F#)         B       D#m E
Never cried about a thing until now but us, us
E                    (F#)         G#m
Oh love, where do I begin with my hard luck?
                     (F#)       B     D#m E
The walls are closing in but my heads up, up


[Verse 4]
           E
And if you need more
                  (F#)               G#m
Just hold out your hands 'cause it's all yours
                 (F#)       B
Boy I'd break the dam to be your source
                      D#m
And I'd never let you drown


[Verse 5]
          E
And hey believe me
                   (F#)             G#m
Nothing's worth the love that comes cheaply
               (F#)        B
Hold it back or give it up freely
                        D#m
And it'll never let you down (oh love)


[Chorus]
E                       (F#)             G#m
Oh love, running down my skin like it's too much
                   (F#)         B       D#m E
Never cried about a thing until now but us, us
E                    (F#)         G#m
Oh love, where do I begin with my hard luck?
                     (F#)       B     D#m E
The walls are closing in but my heads up, up


[Bridge]
    E
The first to fall against the grain
     C#m
Must bear the weight and bear the strain
   G#m
Of everything that it brings
    E
And every queen and every king
      C#m                                E
Looks to the sky when there's nothing to do


[Chorus]
E                            (F#)            G#m
But you love, running down my skin like it's too much
                   (F#)         B       D#m E
Never cried about a thing until now but us, us
E                    (F#)         G#m
Oh love, where do I begin with my hard luck?
                     (F#)       B     D#m E
The walls are closing in but my heads up, up


[Outro]
E       (F#)  G#m    (F#) 
Oh love,      oh love
B  D#m   E
Oh love, oh
E       (F#)  G#m    (F#) 
Oh love,      oh love
B  D#m   E
Oh love, oh
