Intro: G 

verse 1 
                                 C                 G 
Love, love is like a bullet in a gun aimed at your heart 
A7                Dm                       G7 
Tears your heart apart, you scream and you bleed 
                           C               G 
Then you fall down to your knees, reaching for a hand 
                         C                  G 
But the hunter turns his back, he hears his trumpet sound 
A7      D7     G7    C 
And the sun is going down 

 

You ask me what it’s all about 
Dm     C       G7 
I say, I don’t know 
C 
Should you stay and work it out 
Dm     C       G7    C   G 
I say, I don’t think so 


verse 2 
Dm                A7             D7       G7     C 
Someone else will come along and hold you close 

Someone’s lost out in a storm 
    Dm      C        G7 
And looking for safe-haven 
C 
Light your lamp, but hold it high 
  Dm       C       G7       C    Dm  C  G7  C 
Before you let the stranger in 


Instrumental Dm  C  G7  C    Dm  C  G7  C 



You ask me what it’s all about 
Dm     C       G7 
I say, I don’t know 
C 
Should you stay and work it out 
Dm      C   G7     C 
Give it up, let it go 


verse 3 
G                          C                 G 
Love is like a bullet in a gun aimed at your heart 
A7                Dm                       G7 
Tears your heart apart, you scream and you bleed 
               C                   G 
Reaching for a hand, you fall down on your knees 
       C         G 
Man is truly the cruellest of beasts 

 
    C 
You ask me what it’s all about 
Dm     C       G7 
I say, I don’t know 
C 
Should you stay and work it out 
Dm     C       G7    C   G 
I say, I don’t think so 


verse 4 
Dm                A7               D7     G7 
Life is short and grief can tear a heart apart 
C 
Life is short, life is sweet 
Dm   C      G7 
This much I know 
C 
Should you stay and work it out 
Dm     C       G7    C 
I say, I don’t think so
