Infamous Love Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I si[E]ng[Am]
The be[E]bop apocalypse
[Bdim]Lean int[Am]o you
God's [Dm]hands on my hips
[E]Grip the midnight microphone
[F]Steel every cell of my [E]flesh and bone
I wrestle [Am]my angel
In [E]smoky stage lights
[Am]Climb Jacob's ladder
Two [Bdim]thousand [E]more flights
[Dm]Tell St. Valentine, [Am]Hey gimme five
[F]Baby our love [E]song must survive
[Am]

[Verse 2]
We were born in the dirt
On our [E]hands and knees
[Am]But started out climbing
De[Dm]ciduous trees
[E]We learned to sway
[Am]Ridicu[E]lously high
[F]Hungry to taste
[E]Mouthfuls of sky
Now I [Am]bring all our secrets
[E]To show and tell
How [Am]we dragged each other
Through [Bdim]heaven a[E]nd hell
It's [Dm]our smoking g[E]un
But [Am]hey, we're still alive
[F]Baby our love [E]song must sur[Am]vive

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Your third-story windows
windows
On [E]thirteenth and Main
Still [Am]glow with an eerie
Mys[Dm]terious flame
Where [Am]we learned to slow dance
By [E]dawn's early light
And [F]tried to be tender
With [E]all of our might
And just down [Am]the street
At the Mil[E]ner Hotel
[Am]Rosie's sloppin' [F]the hogs
And the [Bdim]infi del[E]s
They [Dm]all went out of business
When the [Am]market took a dive
[F]Baby our love [E]song must [Am]sur vive

[Verse 4]
[Am]
There's nights when I mostly
Just [E]feel like a thief
[Am]With a prized possession
[Dm]A gleeful belief
[E]That love's both [Am]a joke
And a [E]serious matter
You don't [F]quite know your muse
But you [E]know when you've had her
When I first saw [Am]your face yeah
[E]It hurt you to smile
Your lips [Am]tasted like tears
I could [Bdim]kiss them fo[E]r miles
On a [Dm]midnight trainâ??
May it [Am]never arrive
[F]Baby our love [E]song must sur[Am]vive

[Verse 5]
[Am]
There's days when we lose
[E]Our appetite
[Am]And days when we're bruised
And [Dm]losing [F]the fight
Of a [Am]lifetime, [F]days
When [E]we're looking inside
[F]Wondering if
We're half [E]dead or alive
[Am]But the slow honey drip
Of those [E]young nights long goneâ??
The [Am]memory's a friendly whip
Ur[Bdim]ging us [E]on
My [Dm]mouth on your lips
Is just [Am]trying to revive
[F]Baby our love [E]song must sur[Am]vive

[Verse 6]
[Am]
This love's the affirmation
[E]Of everything good
The [Am]oxygen coursing
[Dm]Through the blood
The [Am]feel of being [E]understood
The [F]belief that, Oh Yes,
Some[E]how we could
[Am]And the milkyway looks
Like a [Bm]flimsy [E]blouse
But now [Am]we're gentrified
In our [Bdim]civil war h[E]ouse
[Dm]Safe as a painting
By [Am]Currier and Ives
[E]Baby our love song must sur[Am]vive

[Verse 7]
[Am]
So I still sing
The be[E]bop apocalypse
[Am]Lean into you
God's [Dm]hands on my hips
[Am]Grip the mid[E]night microphone
[F]Steel every cell of my [E]flesh and bone
I still [Am]wrestle my angel
[E]In smoky stage light[Bm]s
[C]Climb [Am]Jacob's ladder
Two [Bdim]thousand [E]more flights
[Dm]C'mon St. Christopher,
how [Am]'bout a high five
[F]Baby our love [E]song must [Am]sur vive
