[Intro]
Bm      x4
[Verse]
        Bm                       A
On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue
         Bm                      A
The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of kudzu
 D           A             Bm   E       A
Sirens were wailing in the Gulf Coastal heat
        G               D               E
And it seemed like the whole world was in forced retreat
Bm                   A
Paid no attention, revolved through the door
         Bm                     A
Past the newspaper racks on the worn marble floor
     D         A/C#       Bm    E         A
Near Civil War history my heart skipped a beat
        G           D                 E
She was standing in fiction stretched high on bare feet
[Chorus]
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E      A
Quiet and cool
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E            A
There are no rules
    E          A
Surrounded by stories
Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime
           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library
 E           A
Once upon a time
[Verse]
Bm                A
I was the pirate, she was the queen
    Bm                         A
Sir Francis and Elizabeth, the best there's ever been
         D                A/C#      Bm      E      A
Then she strolled past my table and stopped at the stairs
     G         D                            E
Then sent me a smile as she reached for Flaubert
[Chorus]
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E      A
Quiet and cool
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm  E           A
There are no rules
    E          A
Surrounded by stories
Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime
           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library
 E           A
Once upon a time
[Solo]
Em  A  Em  A
[Bridge]
    Em                  A
She gathered her books, walked while she read
Em                      A
Words never spoken, but so much was said
        G            F#7       Bm         Em7
You can read all you want into this rendezvous
         G          Gmaj7              Bm         A
But it's safer than most things that lovers can do
[Verse]
     Bm                    A
Well stories have endings, fantasies fade
        Bm                       A
And the guard by the door starts drawing the shade
   D              A/C#       Bm      E     A
So write your own ending and hope it comes true
        G          D            E
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
[Chorus]
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E      A
Quiet and cool
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E            A
There are no rules
    E          A
Surrounded by stories
Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime
           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library
 E           A
Once upon a time
[Outro]
   E          A
Surrounded by stories
Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime
           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library
 E           A
Once upon a time
