LOVE IS A MINOR KEY - ED HARCOURT
INTRO
  [drum fill, two bars]
G Bm/F# Em C
G Bm/F# Em C
GLove is like a melody
It Bm/F#taunts my every memory
The Emharmony is discern under Cspell
The Gorchestra is tuning up
As Bm/F#doors are swung and swiftly shut
I Emthink about you more than I can Cbear
GLove is like a minor key
That Bm/F#changes weeping willow tree
It Emhooks its claws until the blood is Cdrawn
The Gaudience is spilling out
I Bm/F#slip into the busy crowd
But Emstill your face remains after I'm Cgone
 DI could sleep until the summertime
 GMaybe then I'd get the peace of mind
 C6Cut the wires of my telephone Gline
 DBut even in the dead of night
 GI toss and turn like a little child
 C6A heavy heart can never be Dsatisfied
GLove is like a melody
A Bm/F#fever to the remedy
I Emsee you like a silent movie Cstar
If Gyou could step out of the screen
And Bm/F#wake me from the wretched dream
But EmI can only watch you from Cafar
 DI could sleep until the summertime
 GMaybe then I'd get the peace of mind
 C6Cut the wires of my telephone Gline
 DBut even in the dead of night
 GI toss and turn like a little child
 C6A heavy heart can never be D7satisfied
GLove is a melody
It Dmay ruin me
A Bmdeafening symphony
That CM7pulls at the seams
GTrapped in the rhapsody
That Dplays the wrong notes
It's Bmkilling me slowly
So CM7please let me go
Em G6/D
Don't let me C6go
Please let me EmgoG6/D  
Don't let me C6go
GLove is like a minor key
The Bm/F#widow in the cemetery
Who's Emmake-up leaves a trail upon the Cground
I Gthought I saw our name in lights
But Bm/F#that was in a former life
The Emsong I sing is never sung aCloud
And G/Dlove is just a melody
And D7you will never hear me make a Gsound
G

LOVE IS A MINOR KEY - ED HARCOURT

INTRO

[drum fill, two bars]

G Bm/F# Em C

Love is like a melody

Bm/F#

It taunts my every memory

Em C

The harmony is discern under spell

The orchestra is tuning up

Bm/F#

As doors are swung and swiftly shut

Em C

I think about you more than I can bear

Love is like a minor key

Bm/F#

That changes weeping willow tree

Em C

It hooks its claws until the blood is drawn

The audience is spilling out

Bm/F#

I slip into the busy crowd

Em C

But still your face remains after I'm gone

I could sleep until the summertime

Maybe then I'd get the peace of mind

C6 G

Cut the wires of my telephone line

But even in the dead of night

I toss and turn like a little child

C6 D

A heavy heart can never be satisfied

Love is like a melody

Bm/F#

A fever to the remedy

Em C

I see you like a silent movie star

If you could step out of the screen

Bm/F#

And wake me from the wretched dream

Em C

But I can only watch you from afar

I could sleep until the summertime

Maybe then I'd get the peace of mind

C6 G

Cut the wires of my telephone line

But even in the dead of night

I toss and turn like a little child

C6 D7

A heavy heart can never be satisfied

Love is a melody

It may ruin me

A deafening symphony

CM7

That pulls at the seams

Trapped in the rhapsody

That plays the wrong notes

It's killing me slowly

CM7

So please let me go

Em G6/D

Don't let me go

Em G6/D

Please let me go

Don't let me go

Love is like a minor key

Bm/F#

The widow in the cemetery

Em C

Who's make-up leaves a trail upon the ground

I thought I saw our name in lights

Bm/F#

But that was in a former life

Em C

The song I sing is never sung aloud

G/D

And love is just a melody

D7 G

And you will never hear me make a sound
