When Love Comes to Town By U2 (featuring B.B. King) Verse 1: E A I was a sailor, I was lost at sea E A I was under the waves before love rescued me E A I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread E Now I stand accused of the things I've said Chorus: A E When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train A When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame E Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down E
But I did what I did before love came to town Verse 2: E A Used to make love under a red sunset E A I was making promises I was soon to forget E A She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown E But I left her standing before love came to town Verse 3: E A I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream E A The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream E A As the music played I saw my life turn around E That was the day before love came to town Chorus: A E When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train A When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame E Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down E But I did what I did before love came to town Verse 4: E A When I woke up I was sleeping on the street E A I felt the world was dancing, and I was dirt beneath their feet E A When I looked up I saw the Devil looking down E But my Lord He played the guitar the day love came to town Verse 5: E A I was there when they crucified my Lord E A I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword E A I threw the dice when they pierced his side E But I've seen love conquer the great divide Chorus: A E When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train A When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame E Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down E But I did what I did before love came to town
