Intro:
G – C – Em – C – Em

Verse:
G
Someone carved you out of ivory, With some porcelain and brass
C
Then they looked upon your face, And they knew they'd done their task.
G
So they tore their tools to pieces, laid em underneath the grass,
Am                               Em
There won’t be another like you, I don't even have to ask.

G
I stumbled on you sittin', On the bench beside the bank
C
By the river where the dam was, Before the old town went and sank
G
Said I'd be grateful just to sit, Could you spare a little plank?
Am                                   Em
You said I found it when I got here, So you ain't got me to thank

Chorus:
G
That's a love that, cant be broken,
C
That's the sting of a, heart cut open,
Em
That's the thing about, blind devotion,
C
That's a love that, can't be broken,
G~
A love that can't be broken

Break:
G – C – Em – C – D – Em 

Verse:
G
Well I can sing the lead, You can sing the harmony
C
We could play out on the porch, Let it blow off in the breeze
G
We can listen as it lingers, Through the leaves left on the trees
Am                                         Em
Well stay out on till the sun comes rising up from in the East

G
Cause we live in the city now, We live along the shore
C
We looked twice before we left, But we don't look back no more
G
We fell sick for one another, may we never find the cure
Am                           Em
You can handle my best easy, I can try to handle yours

Chorus:
G
That's a love that, can’t be broken,
C
That's the sting of a, heart cut open,
Em
that’s the thing about, blind devotion,
C
That's a love that, can't be broken,

Verse:
G
It’s the, way you stay right, by my side,
Em
It’s the, way you lay your, lips on mine,
C
You're the, rarest thing that I'll, ever find,
   G   D
My love

Chorus: palm mute   *let off pm on last line
G
That's a love that, cant be broken,
C
That's the sting of a, heart cut open,
Em
That's the thing about, blind devotion,
C
That's a love that, can't be broken,
G
That's a love that, cant be broken,
C
That's the sting of a, heart cut open,
Em
That's the thing about, blind devotion,
C
*That's a love that, can't be broken,
