Love Is Everything chords by Jane Siberry

Intro: Bb F Bb F

Verse 1

Bb              F
Maybe it was to learn how to love
Bb              G
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Bb                   Am       B
Maybe it was for the games we played
Bb              F
Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Bb              G
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
Bb                   F       G
Maybe it was for the love we made

Chorus

C       F               C             F    G
Love is everything they said it would be
    C         F                 G
And love made sweet and sad the same
C           F              C            F
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
Dm                C
You're chickening out aren't you?
Dm                                  C
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
Dm                                   C
I can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come
      G   C
So I'm leaving



Verse 2

Bb              F
Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Bb                   G
Maybe it was for the lesson in pride
Bb               Am       B
Maybe it was the cowboys' ways
Bb              F
Maybe it was to learn not to lie
Bb              G
Maybe it was to learn how to cry
Bb                   F       G
Maybe it was for the love we made



Chorus

C       F               C             F    G
Love is everything they said it would be
C        F             G
Love did not hold back the reins
C           F              C            F
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
Dm                C
You're chickening out aren't you?
Dm                                  C
You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
Dm                                   C
I can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come
   G        F
So I'm leaving



Bridge

F                 C
First he turns to you
                 Dm
Then he turns to her
              C
So you try to hurt him back
                        F
But it breaks your body down
               C
So you try to love bigger
          Dm
Bigger still
               G           G
But it...it's too late



Verse 3

C       F              C               F    G
So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
    C           F            G
And know you'll never be the same
    C       F                C              F
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
Dm        C
I gave my love didn't I?
Dm            C
And I gave it big...sometimes
Dm                  C
And I gave it in my own sweet time
     G       C
I'm just leaving
         F  G  C
I'm just leaving



Outro

C       F
