Love of mine when you're born I tell myself that you'll never die.
F#m A D Bm
And I throw my arms around the girl who finds you,
C#m D
‘Cause the world is rosier
B E
through your eyes.
Fm G# C#
I don't suppose you caught her name.
F#m A D Bm C#m F#m
Never mind I'll just name her after you, love of mine.
F#m A D Bm C#m D
I'll fashion her into a sweet long legged icon making all praise holier.
B E
Satisfied.
Fm G# C# G#
Oh, but she gave us to each other.
C# G# D# C#
The only thing she's done for me that you could never do.
Fm G# C# G#
For that she'll always be remembered.
C# Fm Cm A#m C#
After she discovers I don't love her half as much as you.
F#m A D Bm
Love of mine when she goes why can't you stay,
C#m E
here with me.

F#m A D Bm C#m F#m
Love of mine when you die I tell myself that you'll never live.
F#m A D Bm C#m D B E
Even as I curse the girl who says she'll find someone worthier of the gift.
Fm G# C# G#
Someone who wants to share it with her,
C# G# D# C#
far away from those who take you to have and to hoard.
Fm G# C# G#
Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember,
C# Fm Cm A#m C#
for all these pretty words it wasn't her but love that I adored.
A#m C#
It's my love I adored.
