No Love Today chords by Chris Smither

Verse 1:
Am                                             E                Am
I don't know much, when I knew less, I was heartbroke for the first time,
         Am                         E
I was drowning in my tears, I went looking for a lifeline,
Am                                    Dm
Trying to find some comfort, just a simple tender touch,
  G                  F                E
Searching for some little cure that would not cost too much,
             F                               Am
And I could hear that produce wagon on the street,
          F                              G
I could hear that farmer singing, as I cried myself to sleep

Chorus:
      Am                      E             Am
I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound,
Am                    E
Sweet corn, mirleton, mo' better than in town,
       Am                       Dm
I got okra, enough to choke ya, beans of every kind,
     G              F                  E
If hungry is what's eatin' you, I'll sell you peace of mind,
      F                                 Am
But this ain't what you came to hear me say,
C

And I hate to disappoint you, but I got no love today,
      Am        E
I got no love today,
      Am        E
I got no love today,
         Am
No love today

Verse 2:
Am                                   E              Am
I could not love to save myself from lonesome desperation.
Am                                  E
Everything I thought was love was worthless imitation.
      Am                         Dm
My concept of commitment was to take all you could give,
    G                  F                     E
I thought the cheapest thrills I loved were teachin' me to live,
      F                                Am
But nothin' seemed to last or see me through
 F                                 G
Nothin' but that little song that I still sing for you.

Chorus:
      Am                      E             Am
I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound,
Am                    E
Sweet corn, mirleton, mo' better than in town,
       Am                       Dm
I got okra, enough to choke ya, beans of every kind,
     G              F                  E
If hungry is what's eatin' you, I'll sell you peace of mind,
      F                                 Am
But this ain't what you came to hear me say,
C
And I hate to disappoint you, but I got no love today,
      Am        E
I got no love today,
      Am        E
I got no love today,
         Am
No love today

Verse 3:
Am                             E              Am
No love today, none tomorrow, not now, not forever.
      Am                                E
You cannot see what comes for free, I think you much too clever,
          Am                              Dm
For your own good I will tell you what's right before your eyes,
   G             F            E
Intelligence is no defense against what this implies,
        F                                 Am
In the end no one will sell you what you need,
           F                                G
You can't buy it off the shelf, you got to grow it from the seed.

Chorus:
      Am                      E             Am
I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound,
Am                    E
Sweet corn, mirleton, mo' better than in town,
       Am                       Dm
I got okra, enough to choke ya, beans of every kind,
     G              F                  E
If hungry is what's eatin' you, I'll sell you peace of mind,
      F                                 Am
But this ain't what you came to hear me say,
C
And I hate to disappoint you, but I got no love today,
      Am        E
I got no love today,
      Am        E
I got no love today,
         Am
