Em           Am     D           G
Let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
              Em       Am D
And watch the birds soar above
          Em                Am
Let 'em tell us of love and loss
          D                  G
How we'll live and how we'll die
            Em       Am    D
'Cause they say he once was
              Em          Am
Somebody with a black suit
    D         G Em             Am
And good shoes, and a perfect smile
   D
It makes me want to ask

[Chorus]
                 Em   Am
Oh, was it in the mad loves
       C    G
And the big fights
                Em       Am
So was it in the small change
        C         G
And the passing updates
                Em       Am
So was it in the giving up
       D        G
And the getting on
                 Em   Am
No, was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad loves
       C
And the big fights

[Verse 2]
                Em           Am     D           G
We'll let 'em tell us stories as we lie in the fields
              Em        Am  D
And watch the clouds pass above
          Em                  Am
How paper burns and pictures fade
     D        G
Only melody remains
           Em                Am
And sure enough he laughs as if he knows
D                   G
Makes me want to ask

[Chorus]
                 Em   Am
Oh, was it in the mad loves
       C    G
And the big fights
                Em      Am
So was it in the right words
      C      G
At the right times
                Em       Am
So was it in the giving up
       D       G
And the moving on
                 Em   Am
No, was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad loves
                C              C
So was it in the little things, we all want

[Bridge]
|Em Am |C G |E Am |

C          G
We all want

|Em Am |D G |E Am |

Em         Am
We all want

|Em Am |Am  |

[Chorus]
                 Em   Am
Oh, was it in the mad loves
       C    G
And the big fights
                Em       Am
So was it in the small change
        C         G
And the passing updates
                Em       Am
So was it in the giving up
       D        G
And the getting on
                 Em   Am
No, was it in the mad love

[Outro]
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad love
                Em   Am
So was it in the mad love
       C          Am
And the big fights
