Love Thine Enemy

Cass McCombs

Intro:

A C A# A D C A# A

A C A# A

I found this quote in a book and I thought of you

D C A# A

So I walked me out like a moth in the morning dew

A C A# A

And a million cigarettes later the quote reappeared

D C A# A

Now nothing about my love could be called insincere

A7 G7

Love thine enemy -- Love thine enemy

E7 A7

But hate their lack of sincerity

Love thine enemy

A C A# A

Every idiot thing you say speaks of Pain and Truth

D C A# A

Because of the beautiful way your tongue can seduce

A C A# A

What’s behind the mountain is a mystery

D C A# A

That’s why after the quote I added: Sincerity

A7 D7 G7

Love thine enemy -- Love thine enemy

E7 A7

But hate their lack of sincerity

Love thine enemy

A C A# A D C A# A

A C A# A

He tried to come between us like a purple ghoul

D C A# A

Hypocrites especially practice the golden rule

A C A# A

I love what you say though sometimes it’s mean

D C A# A

Without earthworms how else would the soil keep clean?

A C A# A D C A# A

D7 G7

Love thine enemy

E7 A7

But hate their lack of sincerity

Love thine enemy

D7 G7

Love thine enemy -- Love thine enemy
