Loveless chords by Steve Harley

Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
A

Verse 1:
     A
In a daggers-drawn debate
                                   E
You get caught in the crossfire of words
         A
Aimed at getting you to sing for your life
                       E
Though you know it's absurd

Verse 2:
           F#m
And you're limited to one glass of wine
                         C#m
When your heart's set on thirds
           F#m
And you're led to the river of sighs
                  C#m
To get fed to the birds

Chorus:
               B
While children stare
B
'Cause you're loveless
        A
And the world don't care

Verse 3:
    A
Any time is the right time to go
                        E
If you've finished your act
             A
And when the camera pans the man
                          E
With the gun in a suicide pact

Verse 4:
                   F#m
Though you've been learning to survive
                                 C#m
With your dignity and memories intact
            F#m
'Cause it's easier to die in your sleep
                        C#m
When the city's been sacked

Chorus:
            B
You're over there
B
And you're loveless
        A
And the world don't care

Verse 5:
            A
When you're naked in the sun
                                          E
And your neighbours start to gossip and sneer
         A
And your sponsors want more
                                       E
Forgetting any more could end your career

Verse 6:
          F#m
Then some nurse who's been cursed
                                   C#m
With a grin that can stab like a spear
          F#m
Tells you nothing's gonna save you from your past
                     C#m
You're expected to cheer

Chorus:
      B
For a dare
B
But you're loveless
        A
And the world don't care

Solo:
A E A E
F#m C#m F#m C#m
B A

Verse 7:
       A
So you find you're a voice
                          E
In the ranks of a funeral choir
         A
And your parasite friends
                                  E
From the past make a dash for the wire

Verse 8:
         F#m
And your debt's long enough
                                 C#m
To be wrapped 'round an Anglican spire
            F#m
Mean you're so full of hope for the future
                 C#m
Your libido's on fire

Chorus:
         B
It isn't fair
B
When you're loveless
        A
