Verse 1:

                           B    G
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb

                               C       G
The light would flicker like a violent womb

                             B      G
The night was thicker than a smokey fume

G           Em           G
Liza waited in the room

Verse 2:

                        B        G
Benny loved her like he loved no one

                               C       G
The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun

                               B       G
The way she always said what's done is done

    F      Em      G
And he was not the only one

Chorus:

G
Love is a gentle thing

G                              C
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

G                              C
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

Bridge:

G                      B           G
A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade

                       C       G
Benny knew how she was getting paid

                               C       G      Em  G
Her water broke and they would have to wade

Verse 3:

                          B  G
When he knew that she was fooling

                       B         G
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said

                         C        G
We're outta money and we sold the bling

           F     Em       B     F      Em    B        G
And I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home

Chorus:

G
Love is a gentle thing

C                       G
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

                        B      F
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

Outro:

         G    C     F
And I am wandering

     G    G
I am wandering?
