[Verse 1]
When the Dearth was still flat
And the D/Bclouds made of fire
And Asus4mountains stretched up to the skyG  
Sometimes higher
GFolks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
They had Dtwo sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
They had F#mtwo faces peering out of Gone giant head
So they could Emwatch all around them
As they Atalked while they read
And they neveGr knew notAhing of Dlove
It was before   G  Aoh, the origin of lDoveG  
The origin of lDoveG  
[Verse 2]
Now there was Bmthree sexes then, one that looked like two men glued up back to Dback
They called the children of the Gsun
And similBmar in shape and girth was the children of the earth
They looked like Dtwo girls rolled up in Gone
And the chAildren of the moon
Was like a fBmork stuck on a spoon
They were part C#msun part earth
Part daughter part AsonD  
Ooh, Gthe origin of loveD  G  
[Verse 3]
Now the Dgods grew quite scared
Of our D/Bstrength and defiance
And Thor said, Asus4"I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammerG  
Like I killed the giants."
GBut Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me
GUse my lightning like scissors
Like I cut the lDegs off the whales, dinosaurs into lizards
And then he F#mgrabbed up some bolts
And he Glet out a laugh
Said, "I'll split them Emright dowm the middle
Gonna cut 'em Aright up in half."
And the stGorm clouds Agathered abDove
Into great balls of Gfire
[Bridge]
And then fiBmre shot down from the sky in boGlts
Like shining blades of a knife
And it ripBmped right through the flesh
Of the children of the sGun and the moon and the earth
And some indian gBmod sewed the wound up to a hole
Pulled it round to our belly to remGind us the price we paid
And OsBmiris and the gods of the nile
Gathered up a big stormG  
To blow a hurriEmcane
To scatter us aBmway
In a flood of wind and Grain
And a sea of tidal wEmaves
To wash us all aBmway
And if we don't beGhave
They'll cut us down aEmgain
And we'll be Abhopping 'round on Gone footD  
and looking through one Geye
[Verse 4]
The Dlast time I saw you
We'd Bmjust split in two
You was Glooking at me
I was Alooking at you
You had a Dway so familiar
I Bmcould not recognize
Cuz you had Gblood on your face
I had Ablood in my eyes
But I could Dswear by your expression
That the pBmain down in your soul
Was the saGme as the one down in mAine
That's the pDain
That cuts a Bmstraight line down through the heGart
We call it lAove
We wrapped our aDrms 'round each other
Tried to shove ourBmselves back together
We were making Glove, making Alove
It was a Dcold dark evening such a lBmong time ago
When by the Gmighty hand of JAove
It was a Dsad story how we became Bmlonely two-legged creatures
The Gstory of the origin of lAove
That's the origin of loveD  
Oh Gyeah
The origin of lDoveG  
The origin of lDoveG  
The origin of lDove

[Verse 1]

When the earth was still flat

D/B

And the clouds made of fire

Asus4 G

And mountains stretched up to the sky

Sometimes higher

Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs

They had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs

F#m G

They had two faces peering out of one giant head

So they could watch all around them

As they talked while they read

G A D

And they never knew nothing of love

G A D G

It was before oh, the origin of love

D G

The origin of love

[Verse 2]

Bm D

Now there was three sexes then, one that looked like two men glued up back to back

They called the children of the sun

And similar in shape and girth was the children of the earth

D G

They looked like two girls rolled up in one

And the children of the moon

Was like a fork stuck on a spoon

C#m

They were part sun part earth

A D

Part daughter part son

G D G

Ooh, the origin of love

[Verse 3]

Now the gods grew quite scared

D/B

Of our strength and defiance

Asus4 G

And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammer

Like I killed the giants."

But Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me

Use my lightning like scissors

Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs into lizards

F#m

And then he grabbed up some bolts

And he let out a laugh

Said, "I'll split them right dowm the middle

Gonna cut 'em right up in half."

G A D

And the storm clouds gathered above

Into great balls of fire

[Bridge]

Bm G

And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts

Like shining blades of a knife

And it ripped right through the flesh

Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth

And some indian god sewed the wound up to a hole

Pulled it round to our belly to remind us the price we paid

And Osiris and the gods of the nile

Gathered up a big storm

To blow a hurricane

To scatter us away

In a flood of wind and rain

And a sea of tidal waves

To wash us all away

And if we don't behave

They'll cut us down again

Ab G D

And we'll be hopping 'round on one foot

and looking through one eye

[Verse 4]

The last time I saw you

We'd just split in two

You was looking at me

I was looking at you

You had a way so familiar

I could not recognize

Cuz you had blood on your face

I had blood in my eyes

But I could swear by your expression

That the pain down in your soul

G A

Was the same as the one down in mine

That's the pain

Bm G

That cuts a straight line down through the heart

We call it love

We wrapped our arms 'round each other

Tried to shove ourselves back together

G A

We were making love, making love

D Bm

It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago

G A

When by the mighty hand of Jove

D Bm

It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures

G A

The story of the origin of love

That's the origin of love

Oh yeah

D G

The origin of love

D G

The origin of love
