I was Eunder the waves, before love rescued meA  
  EI was a fighter, I could turn on the threat
     EN.C.
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
[Chorus]
ALove comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When Elove comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane
EMaybe I was wrong to ever let you down
         EN.C.
But I did what I did before love came to town
[Interlude]
E      A  E      A
[Verse 2]
EUsed to make love under a red sunsetA  
I was Emaking promises I was soon to forgetA  
She was Epale as the lace of her wedding gown
          EN.C.
But I left her standing before love came to town
[Verse 3]
ARan into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
The Enotes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream
As the Emusic played I saw my life turn around
    EN.C.
That was the day before love came to town
[Chorus]
When Alove comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When Elove comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane

EI held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
EI threw the dice when they pierced his side
             EN.C.
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
[Chorus]
When Alove comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
When Elove comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane
