Verse 1:

G                          B    C
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb
G                              Bm      C
The light would flicker like a violent womb
G                            Bm     C
The night was thicker than a smokey fume
G    Em     B      C
Liza waited in the room

Verse 2:

G                       B        C
Benny loved her like he loved no one
G                              Bm      C
The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun
G                                Bm      C
The way she always said, "What's done is done."
    G      Em      B    C
And he was not the only one


Chorus:

G         B      C
Love is a gentle thing
G         C             Em     B
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
G        C              Em     B
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring


Verse 3:

G                      B           C
A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade
G                      Bm      C
Benny knew how she was getting paid
G                              Bm      C
Her water broke and they would have to wade

G Em B C


Verse 4:

G                         B   C
When he knew that she was fooling
G                      Bm        C
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said
G                        Bm       C
We're outta money and we sold the bling
    G      Em    B        C     G      Em    B        C
And I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home


Chorus:

G         B      C
Love is a gentle thing
G        C              Em     B
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
G        C              Em     F
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring


Outro:

G        B     C   F
And I am wandering
G    B     C
I am wandering
