Intro
| [G] | [D] | [Am7] | [C] |
| [Em] | [D] | [C] | [D] | [D] |
| [G] I loved you for a | [G7] long, long time
| [C] ...I know this love is | [C] real
It don't matter | [G] ...how it | [G7] all went wrong
That | [D] don't change the way I | [D] feel
And I | [G] can't believe that | [B7] time is
Gonna heal this | [Em] wound that I'm speaking | [C↓] of [Eb↑] |
There | [G] ain't no cure, there | [D] ain't no cure
There | [C] ain't no cure for | [G] love | [G]
| [G] I'm aching for you | [G7] baby
| [C] I can't pretend I'm | [C] not
| [G] I need to see you | [G7] naked
In your | [D] body and your | [D] thought
| [G] I've got you like a | [B7] habit
And I'll | [Em] never get e- | [C↓] nough [Eb↑] |
There | [G] ain't no cure, there | [D] ain't no cure
There | [C] ain't no cure for | [G↓] love
Start Choppy Downstrumming
(There ain't no | [Em] cure for love) | [G]
(There ain't no | [Em] cure for | [G] love)
All the rocket ships are | [C] climbing through the sky
The holy | [C] books are open wide
The doctors | [D] working day and night
But they'll | [D] never ever find that | [Em] cure for love | [G]
(There ain't no | [C] drink, no | [C] drug)
(There's | [A] nothing pure e- | [A] nough to be a | [D] cure for | [D↓] love)
| [G] I see you in the | [G7] subway
And | [C] I see you on the | [C] bus
| [G] I see you lying | [G7] down with me
And I | [D] see you waking | [D] up
I | [G] see your hand, I | [B7] see your hair
Your | [Em] bracelets and your | [C] brush
And I | [G] call to you, I | [B7] call to you
But I | [Em] don't call soft e- | [C↓] nough [Eb↑] |
There | [G] ain't no cure, there | [D] ain't no cure
There | [C] ain't no cure for | [G] love | [G]
| [G] I walked into this | [G7] empty church
I had | [C] no place else to | [C] go
| [G] When the sweetest voice I | [G7] ever heard
| [D] Whispered to my | [D] soul
I | [G] don't need to be for- | [B7] given
| [Em] For loving you so | [C] much
| [G] It's written in the | [B7] scriptures
| [Em] It's written there in | [C] blood
| [G] I even heard the | [B7] angels
De- | [Em] clare it from a- | [C↓] bove [Eb↑] | ...
There | [G] ain't no cure, there | [D] ain't no cure
There | [C] ain't no cure for | [G↓] love
Start Choppy Downstrumming
(There ain't no | [Em] cure for love) | [G]
(There ain't no | [Em] cure for | [G] love)
All the rocket ships are | [C] climbing through the sky
The holy | [C] books are open wide
The doctors | [D] working day and night
But they'll | [D] never ever find that | [Em] cure, that | [G] cure for love
(No | [Em] cure for | [G] love, there ain't no | [Em] cure for | [G] love...)
