only love

Capo 2nd fret

Intro: C   C   D   G

G       Em         C               G    Em   C
  Only love makes killing time so cruel
G            Em           C                    G   Em   C
  The hours come and you drag them round with you
D             Em              C
  When she is gone the whole hang-dog house aches
D              Em           C
  And you hum along to the sound of heartbreaks
D                Em      C     D
  You think you hear in every song

G           Em        C                G   Em   C
  But only love will make you wait so long
       G        Em         C               G   Em   C
For the little gifts that keep you holding on
D              Em             C
  A scribbled ring round the town she's staying in
D             Em          C
  The little dent in the bed you're laying in
D            Em         C        D
  The heady scent she leaves on you
   C                                  G   Em   C
But only love makes killing time so cruel

D           Em             C
  So many things that you must get round to
D            Em              C
  A dripping tap, a month's mail to sort through
D               Em            C        D
  If you could just get your mind to clear
        C                                    G   C   G
But it's only love and it keeps you waiting here
