Intro 
A A7 D Dsus2 (x2) 

Verse 
A    A7 
If I wait 
D           Dsus2 
Dont move a muscle 
A       A7                    D  Dsus2 
Maybe somehow a spark will strike 
Dsus2 
It's been a long night 
A      A7 
So sincere 
        D                  Dsus2 
But the message is still a struggle 
Bm 
Knives with which we juggle 
          E 
While we jump through fire 

Pre-Chorus 
   Bm 
So maybe I'll move on and make a mistake 
    D 
And see if my earth-quakes 

A                    E 
This is the love I'm frightened of 
        Bm                       D 
Doesn't come with a leaflet that says how to keep it 
A                     E 
This is the love that can't be seen 
   Bm                                                 D                      A

A A7 D Dsus2 (x2) 

Verse 
A       A7 
Slow me down 
D                  Dsus2 
Apply some gentile pressure 
A         A7                   D     Dsus2 
And maybe somehow a spark will strike 
Dsus2 
I hope it might 
A      A7 
One is best 
    D               Dsus2 
But lacking in conversation 
Bm 
Safe but no relation 
       E 
To the warmth you give 

Pre-Chorus 
   Bm 
So maybe I move on and make a mistake 
    D 
And see if my earth-quakes

This is the love I'm frightened of

This is the love that can't be seen 
   Bm                                                 D                      A   A 
No detailed instructions or Japanese symbols like you find on a washing machine

This is the love I'm frightened of 
        Bm                       D 
Doesn't come with a leaflet that says how to keep it 
A                     E 
This is the love that can't be seen
