Love of Our Lives [Band Version] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I opened my hands up
to see what I've got.
My days slip like coins into a slot.
They are gone,
[Em]the shadows lie long.
[D]

[Verse 2]
I've been banking on a
[Dsus4]broken mach[D]ine.
Left unattended,
like most [Dsus4]of my dreams[D].
[Em]Rusted components of an
unmarked song
[D]

[Verse 3]
We've been star[G]ing down
a brilliant [A]dream
The sun burns our [Bm]eye [A]s.
We've been [G]fighting for
the [A]love of our lives
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]All around us things [Dsus4]come apar[D]t.
Broken pieces. [Dsus4]broken he[D]arts,
[Em]Fix me, oil me,
match me with the next best [D]thing.

[Verse 5]
[D]Person to person, [Dsus4]nation to nation
[D]Heels dug in no communic
[Dsus4]ation.[D]
[Em]While the time speaks of weath[D]ering

[Verse 6]
We've been [G]wanting to be [A]helped
by binding [Bm]ties[A]
We've been [G]fighting for
the [A]love of [D]our lives

[Verse 7]
And when it breaks [D]down,
I beg you [G]don't go.
A sinking [Gm]ship, I'm ready [D]to blow.
I try to out [C]think you [D]with
an army of [G]words,
[D]I s[G]trategize.
I am [D]fighting for the [G]love of [D]my [Dsus4]life
[D][Dsus4][D]

[Interlude 1]
[Dsus4][D]
[Em][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Fire and water, oxygen
Scotch and soda,
or any combina[Em]tion
Starts the reaction.
[D]

[Verse 9]
Is there no mastermind of
[Dsus4]modern da[D]y
Who can blueprint a plan to
[Dsus4]make love stay[D]
[Em]Steady and weatherproof usher
in a new re[D]volution?

[Verse 10]
After [G]trying more,
the [A]hopeful ones still [Bm]try.[A]
[D]How can [A]we [G]help it
When we're [A]fight[D]ing for the love
of our [G]live?

[Verse 11]
(Trying more) The [A]hopeful
[D]ones still [A]try.[Bm][A]
How can we [G]help it
When we're [D]fight[A]ing for [D]the love of

[Outro 1]
our lives?
