If there was no word for love now

Cm G#

We'd see how strong it really is

C# G

We could find out what it looks like

C F F/E

Or if it ever did exist

G C

'Cause every time you said you loved me

Cm G#

Seems like the point escaped us both

C# G

And the current interrupted

C F F/E

The moment that you spoke

E Am

Now there's a loophole in the theory

C7 F/E

That I cannot figure out

F/E C

'Cause if love was what they said it would be

G/B G C/G

Then you'd be here with me now

It's a loneliness perfected

It's how to laugh when you should cry

The side effects of broken promise

So the next time that you see me

And our exchange feels somehow cheap

Know that I feel every word you're saying

But from just a few steps out of reach

Where the view is a little hazy

And the noise a little loud

F/E C/G

'Cause if love was what they said it would be

G/B G G E Am D

Well then you'd be here with me now
