(Intro)  E       A       E      A 

(verse 1) 

A                       A/G# 
  The phone rang today 
          F#m 
I let it ring and ring and ring 
A                      A/G# 
  I was trying to sleep 
              F#m 
You interrupted me 
D                       F#m 
  I didn't want to pick up 
D                                E 
  I let it go through the routine 
Bm                       A                 D 
  But I'm caught in the in between 



E 
  What is love  
                                     A 
if it's locked up in this house 
E 
  What is love 
                                    A 
if it's locked up in my mouth 
F#m                                  
  I'm finished holding the key 
E/G# 
  I'm breaking open the door 
A 
  I'm done with fighting the war 

I've chosen to ignore 
E 
  What is Love 

(verse 2)
 
A                         A/G# 
  When I saw the children  
               F#m 
I could barely breathe 
A                     A/G#                      F#m 
  With all the brokenness staring back at me 
D                       F#m 
  I noticed many faces 
D                                   E 
  that couldn't hide their need 
Bm                      A                D 
  But I'm caught in the in between 

(bridge) 

F#m     E/G#       A
