Love Will Tear Us Apart

Soul Asylum


Tom: D

        Em         D
When routine bites hard,
      Bm          A
And ambitions are low,
      Em             D
And resentment rides high,
     Bm            A
But emotions won't grow,
          Em           D
And we're changing our ways,
Bm               A
Taking different roads.


[Chorus]
     Em    D                  Bm    A
Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Em    D                  Bm    A
Love, love will tear us apart again.


[Verse]
           Em         D
Why is the bedroom so cold?
               Bm          A
You've turned away on your side.
      Em          D
Is my timing that flawed?
      Bm            A
Our respect runs so dry.
            Em           D
Yet there's still this appeal
           Bm               A
That we've kept through our lives.


[Verse]
    Em    D                  Bm    A
But love, love will tear us apart again.
Em    D                  Bm    A
Love, love will tear us apart again.


[Verse]
    Em              D
You cry out in your sleep,
       Bm         A
All my failings exposed.
              Em          D
And there's a taste in my mouth,
        Bm           A
As desperation takes hold.
          Em           D
Just that something so good
           Bm          A
Just can't function no more.

[Chorus]
    Em    D                  Bm    A
But love, love will tear us apart again.
Em    D                  Bm    A
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Em    D                  Bm    A
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Em    D                  Bm    A
Love, love will tear us apart again.
