CAPO 2
   GMorning dreads foDllow light
A lAmifted dawn, hDungover night
   AmPorch dwellin' dreamers who can't rDemember why they came
To sAmleepwCalk
And sAmweet Emtalk
   CTo pluck your pretty BMpetalAms until he loves you not
He lDoves me not
So feGast your eyes, then they dDisappear
The yAmoung at heart, the Dinsincere
The Amwell-meaning, troublemaking tDroubadours
And you toAmss, and you tCurn
You liAmve, and you lEmearn
    CJust when you thought you hBmad it in your gAmrasp, it flew away
It fDlew away
Like fiGreflies, fiBmckle light, 
bAmurning holes intDo the night
    GAll the night owls want to know, 
Oh, whDere did the lAmove gGo?
Oh, whDere did the lAmove gGo?

Morning dreads follow light

Am D

A lifted dawn, hungover night

Porch dwellin' dreamers who can't remember why they came

To sleepwalk

Am Em

And sweet talk

C BM Am

To pluck your pretty petals until he loves you not

He loves me not

So feast your eyes, then they disappear

The young at heart, the insincere

Am D

The well-meaning, troublemaking troubadours

And you toss, and you turn

Am Em

You live, and you learn

C Bm Am

Just when you thought you had it in your grasp, it flew away

It flew away

Like fireflies, fickle light,

burning holes into the night

All the night owls want to know,

D Am G

Oh, where did the love go?

D Am G

Oh, where did the love go?
