found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIFbf7HWKd0
Tuning: standard [EADGBe]
Capo 1
[Intro]
C E Am F G x2
[Verse 1]
C E
It's true that sometimes intuition ties the blinding folds
Am F G
To contemplate not what, but why the way the mind can go
C E
Sometimes it plays the heart, it's so lovely at the start
Am F G
But when the walls come crashing down I take it all apart
C E
Arise my jaded cynicism, analyzing criticism
Am F G
Every thought so skeptical, no mysteries are left at all
C E
No silly romance fantasies are really how they're hoped to be
Am F G C
No this is not a song of love, just so damn reminiscent of it all
[Chorus]
Am F G C
Whoow, intention. When you leave these things behind, I can't open up my mind at all
Am F Fm
Whoow, intention. Well I know, I know that love ain't real but I can't deny the way I feel
C G Am E F
I'd like to say I'll find the day when no more will I feel this way, and if I never,
very well
G C G Am
E
But only tests of time can tell. Indulge the moment and then it's gone, but never for
too very long
F G C
No this is not a song of love just so damn reminiscent of it all
[Fill]
G C F* *-strum once
[Verse 2]
C E
The fight to strive, genetic drive, those early days of man
Am F G
Replication and survive, to act not understand
C E
For every lost potential mother kills you from within,
Am F G
for fear of life's own preservation starts to settle in
C E
Well I know it gets confusing and I know it's worth a try
Am F G
When instinct tells you how to act but just won't tell you why
C E
As single souls are drawn together, passionate and blind
Am -once, then mute strum F G C
Just keep this simple thought in mind, that love is just a concept for the times.
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
Am F G C Am F G C
Woe and blight, such is life. Though excel for all is well
[Ending]
Am F G C
Whoow, intention. When you leave these things behind, I can't open up my mind at all
Am F -once Fm -once C -once
Whoow, intention. Well, no this is not a song of love just so damn reminiscent of it all
