[Verse 1]

F#m7         Amaj7
True love is a rose
       Bm                           F#
Behind glass that's locked and kept closed
              A
Maybe just to me 'cause my heart's been
C            G/B           F
attacked and shattered by tough love
E
Bad love

[Verse 2]
     F#m7                 Amaj7
So I bought mine off the street
Bm                               F#
True love, man, it just can't be beat
          A
I felt so complete
           C        G/B    F      E
Married to heavenly bodies above

[Bridge]
          Fmaj7
And each night I'd look up
     Am             E7sus     E
At a bright honey moon

(riff)

[Verse 3]

          F#m7                 Amaj7
'Cause it sure seemed built to last
         Bm                 F#
And even after my honeymoon passed
       A
I kept right with it, man
       C          G/B           F      E
Like a ghost to a house it once haunted

[Verse 4]

F#m7          Amaj7
And day after day
    Bm                       F#
I'd steal with my true love away
        A
To some hideout
             C
We're left undisturbed
         G/B        F     E
We could do what we wanted

[Bridge]

     Fmaj7                  Am
But I started to feel like a liar
         Esus      E
Saying I love you

[Chorus]

        D                    C
She was madly in love or mad mean
                B
There was no in between
             E
It raised my alarm

D                    C
I found I can't make a stand
              B
I'm her hired hand
             E
I have to do harm

[Verse 5]

F#m7          Amaj7
One day I got sick
    Bm                    F#
She played me a nasty old trick
A
Said, "I need cigarettes"
C                 G/B
Walked 'round the block
F        E
Caught a cab

[Verse 6]

F#m7                Amaj7
Stayed gone for too long
   Bm                 F#
My love had gotten so strong
        A                    C
Just to try being back on my own
G/B            F    E
I had to go to rehab

[Chorus]

D                C           B
All I need is a safe place to bleed
                   E
Is this where it's at?

D                       C
Half of no chance steps in a dance
B                        E
Rest of my life spent in combat

[Verse 7]

        F#m7        Amaj7
Now I'm the king of the ward
           Bm                    F#
'Cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
            A
And puke it out for the doctor
   C     G/B        F              E
To write me a new prescription

[Verse 8]

F#m7          Amaj7
Tranquil as a dove
Bm                               F#
People that have lost their true love
     A           C       G/B     F      E
They all seem to fit the same description

[Bridge]

       Fmaj7             Am
I feel cold, useless and old
             E  E7sus     E
I wish I was no one

[Outro]

A    Amaj7     A    Amaj7
Take me up, my Lord
A    Amaj7     A    Amaj7
Take me up today
A    Amaj7          A    Amaj7
Take me out of this place
A    Amaj7          A    Amaj7
Take me up with you today
