[Intro]
One, two, three, four
G B C X4
Gmaj7 G7 Em Ebaug
[Verse 1]
G B C
Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
G B C
The light would flicker like a violent womb
G B C
The night was thicker than a smoky fume
Gmaj7 G7 Em Ebaug
Eliza waited in her room
[Verse 2]
G B C
Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
G B C
The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
G B C
The way she always said, "What's done is done"
Gmaj7 G7 Em Ebaug
And he is not the only one
[Chorus 1]
G
Love is a gentle thing
Csus2 G Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
[Verse 3]
G B C
A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade
G B C
And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
G B C
Her water broke, and they would have to wait
Gmaj7 G7 Em Ebaug
[Verse 4]
G B C
And when he knew that she was fooling
G B C
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
G B C
We're out of money, and we've sold the bling
[Bridge]
Gmaj7 G7 Em Ebaug
And I just wanna take you home
Gmaj7 G7 Em Ebaug
I just wanna take you home
[Chorus 2]
G
Love is a gentle thing
Csus2 G Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Csus2 G Csus2
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Csus2 G
And I'm wondering
C
Ring
Csus2 G
And I'm wondering
