LOVE OF OUR LIVES  (E. Saliers)
i guess the tuning the play in is something like DADF#AD. Anyway i'm gonna put
down the basic chords so you can play the song in way that sounds quite similar.

Capo on the 2nd fret    Asus2Asus2 002200

E MajorE                  Asus2Asus2
I open my hands out to see what I've got
E MajorE                 Asus2Asus2         F# minorF#m
My days slip like coins into a slot they are gone
    Asus2Asus2     E MajorE    Asus2Asus2
The shadows lie long
E MajorE                 Asus2Asus2
I've been banking on a broken machine
E MajorE                 Asus2Asus2
Left unattended like most of my dreams
F# minorF#m             Asus2Asus2       E MajorE       Asus2Asus2
Rusted components of an unmarked song

A augmentedA                        BB
We've been staring down the brilliant dream
        C# minorC#m     BB
The sun burns our eyes
           A augmentedA        BB        E MajorE
We've been fighting for the love of our lives

E MajorE             Asus2Asus2
All around us things come apart
E MajorE             Asus2Asus2
Broken pieces, broken hearts
E MajorE                  Asus2Asus2
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing
Person to person, nation to nation
Heels dug in, no communication
F# minorF#m             Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
Wily time sneaks her weathering

(same chorus)
We've been waiting to be held by binding ties
We've been fighting for the love of our lives
              A augmentedA                 E MajorE
And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go
F# minorF#m                E MajorE
I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow
A augmentedA                                BB
I try to outflank you with an army of words, I strategize
A augmentedA             BB        E MajorE    Asus2Asus2
I am fighting for the love of my life

Iron, water, oxygen, scotch and soda or any combination
Starts the reaction
Is there no mastermind of modern day who can blueprint
A augmentedA plan to make love stay
Sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolution

At the drawing board the hopeful ones still try
How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives?
Drawing board the hopeful ones still try

THE END!
