Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Love used to be the [D]ruler
[Gsus4]
From [G]which you measured [C]all
Love used to be the dizzy
[Gsus4]ing heigh[D]t
[Gsus4]From whic[G]h you wished to fall[C]
Love used to be [D]the white and
gauzy [G]apparition
Towering in your dreams
Love [Em]used to [C]be[D]
Love [G]used to be
[C]

[Verse 2]
Love used to be the horse
[F#dim]shoe made[D] of iron
And [G]always smiling [C]up
And in your arms [Em]it gathered[D]
All manner [G]of silky satin golden [C]luck
Love used to be the pyr[D]amid and on top
It's [G]eye that always sees
Love [C]used to [D]be
Love [G]used to be

[Verse 3]
[G]
Dig [Am]a six-foot hole
[G]hole
Inside my [D]chest
[Am]Heart like a [G]gravestone
Lay it down to [D]rest
[Am]Good[C]bye [G]love[D]
Amen
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
Love used to be [D]a sigh like [G]petals
Gently falling [C]down
From [F#dim]the flower of [D]my lover's
Half [G]open rosebud [Em]mouth
[C]Love used to be the[D] thirst, oh,
and the quenching
[G]The question in no need of answering
Love [C]used [D]to be
Love [G]used to be

[Verse 5]
[C]
[Em]Love used to be hope[D] unflinching
[G]The dare that believed it mus[Em]t
Love used to be the [D]heady
drunken feeling of
[G]Flesh heavy [Em]with lust
[C]Love used to be [Em]the pho
[D]tograph of the future
Taken [G]by one mind four eyes could see
Love [Em]used [C]to be[D]
[G]Love used to be

[Verse 6]
Dig a [Am]six-foot hole
[G]hole
Inside my [D]chest
[Am]Heart like a grave[D]stone[G]
Lay it down to [D]rest
[Am]Good[C]bye [G]love
[D]Amen
[G]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
[C]Love used to be a miracle
[F#dim]The proof[G] that God exists[C]
As it doubled our im[F#dim]age,
immor[D]tality de[G]livered
By the double [Em]helix
Love used to be the bed[D]rock
you built a life [G]upon
Into the future [Em]reaching
[C]It used to be what wok[Em]e you[D] each day
[G]And eased me into sleeping
Love [Em]used to [C]be [Em]my compass[D]
But now [G]I'm alone and I'm adrift
and I'm lost at sea
'Cause love [Em]used [D]to be
Love [G]used to be
Love [C]used to [Em]be[D]
[G]Love used to be
