My love and I,
E7sus4 E7
We work well together
F#m11/C# Dmaj7
But often we're apart
E7sus4 E7 F#m11/C#
Absence makes the heart lose weight, yeah,
Dmaj7
Till love breaks down,
A
Oh my, oh my,
E7sus4 E7
Have you seen the weather?
F#m11/C# Dmaj7
The sweet September rain
E7sus4 E7 F#m11/C#
Rain on me, like no other
Aadd11
Until I drown, ...
CHORUS
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
When love breaks down, the things you do
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
To stop the truth from hurting you
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
When love breaks down, the lies we tell,
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
They only serve to fool ourselves,
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
When love breaks down, the things you do
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
To stop the truth from hurting you
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
When love breaks down, the lies we tell,
Aadd11 E7sus4 E7
They only serve to fool ourselves,

My love and I,

Fall, be free as old confetti
Dmaj7
And paint the town,
CHORUS
