Love is Not the Only Thing

Intro D *
      Bm   A


F               Dm
Sun rises and we talk about the weather 
F                   Gm
Sun bleaches and we ponder it all 
F                         Am
The fine line between the banker and the debtor 
F                       Bb                G   A
And what happens if the satellites fall 

F                 Dm
Too shy we are to come right out and say it 
F                  Gm
Too sly to let the other one know 
F                   Am
Head full of this kaleidoscope of brain-freight

Heart full of something simple and slow 
G            A  
   Simple and slo-oooow

Love is never everything 
F           Am
But it's the best thing

F                 Dm 
Too tired to read another twenty pages 
F                   Gm
Too bored to see the anchorman's face 
F                    Am
Too young to bear the burdens of the ages 
F                 Bb              G  A
Too old to keep an innocent pace 
F                 Dm
You see me like a prism sees a candle 
F                    Gm
I'm scattered into differing hues 
F         Am
Reality is happening at random 
F                       Bb
You're warming up the yellows and blues 
G            A  
    Yellows and Blue-ues

Let's go up on the roof beneath the neon 
F                           Gm
Pretend we're foreigners and drink the city in 
F                    Am
Somewhere between the stairwell and the starlight 
F            Bb                            G   A
I find myself holding your hand 
F                  Dm
Half-cousins to the angels and the demons 
F                     Gm
Half-brother to the fatherless sons 
                  F/G
I lay awake and wonder at the reasons 
F                 Gm           Am 
One kiss and I am lost in your charms 
Fm           G#
Lost in your charms

Lost in your charms

* D intro is a standard D but put your pinkie on the 4th fret of the high E for first chord, pull off for standard D and then lift ring finger for an open high E string.  It's easier than it sounds.
