Never Knew Love

They Might Be Giants

C

[Chorus]
C
I never knew love could be like this
  F                             D7
I never knew love could be like this
  F
I go around thinking I'm a genius
      Dm7             Fm            C
But I never knew love could be like this


[Verse]
C     G       F   C
Car - tog - raphy
   C   G      F    C
Is not my matier
        Am7              D7
And the mountainsides of daydreams
    Dm7            F
Too steep for me today
C      G      F      C
Lovers lost before us
    C        G     F    C
And most did not return
    Am7             D7
The few so hale and hearty
    Dm7             F
Now broken down and burned


[Chorus]
C
I never knew love could be like this
    F                     D7
Was anyone else but me surprised?
    F
How anything happens is mysterious
      Dm7             Fm            C
And I never knew love could be like this


[Verse]
C    G      F    C
Bi - og - raphy
   C        G    F      C
Is all they understand
   Am7          D7
No semaphore or secrets
   Dm7              F
Or just good old pretend
    C        G       F       C
And now they all are sleeping
    C          G   F     C
But this keeps us awake
      Am7                  D7
These words, they need safekeeping
  Dm7            F
A promise not to break


[Chorus]
C
I never knew love could be like this
  F                             D7
I never knew love could be like this
  F
I go around thinking I'm a genius
      Dm7             Fm
But I never knew love
          C               D7
Has there ever been love?
      Dm7             Fm            C
Oh, I never knew love could be like this
