Sometimes Love Takes So Long Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[G]Used to be green
like two basil leaves
[Dm]Left by the window we're going to seed
[G]What in the world happened
to you an[Dm]d me?[Em]
[G]Used to be red like strawberry bread
[Dm]Sim ple and sweet and we both got fed
[G]Now I'm spitting sugar,
lonely in my head
[Dm]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Don't break the silence
with empty [Dm]words
Don't fan the fire of my heartburn
[G]Don't make a jok[Am]e of [G]our hard wor[Dm]k
Lord only [G]knows

[Verse 3]
Sometimes love [C]takes [G]so [C]long[F]
Here's my heart to write [G]on
Every [C]word [G]is [C]bittersweet
[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[G]Your therapist, my shaken knees
[Dm]Not together, desperately
[G]We made a promise
One that [C]we can't [Dm]keep
[G]I was too young to understand
[Dm]Now I'm too old to give a damn
What in [G]the world happened
to you and me?
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[G]So don't break the silence
[Am]with empty[G] words[Dm]
Don't fan the fire of my heartburn
[G]Don't make a jok[Am]e of [G]our hard wor[Dm]k
Lord only [G]knows

[Verse 6]
Sometimes [C]love takes [G]so [C]long[F]
Here's my heart to write [G]on
Every [C]word is [Dm]bitter[G]sweet
Sometimes love [C]takes [G]so [C]long[F]
Come on sweet to stay [G]strong
Circle back [C]to you and [Dm]me

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][G][Am][G][Am]
[G][Dm][G][Am][G][Am][G][Dm][G]

[Verse 7]
Sometimes love [C]takes [G]so [F]long
Here's my heart to write [G]on
Every [C]word [G]is bittersweet
[Dm]Some[G]times love takes s[C]o long[G][F]
Come on sweet to stay [G]strong
Circle [C]back to you [G]and
[C]me[Dm][G]
Sometimes love takes so long
