G                  G7 
I loved you for a long, long time 
C 
I know this love is real 
          G 
It don't matter how it all went wrong 
      D 
That don't change the way I feel 
       G                  B 
And I can't believe that time's 
                 Em                     C  Eb7 
Gonna heal this wound that I'm speaking of 
       G 
There ain't no cure 
       D 
There ain't no cure 
       C                 G 
There ain't no cure for love 

I'm aching for you baby 
I can't pretend I'm not 
I need to see you naked 
In your body and your thought 
I've got you like a habit 
And I'll never get enough 
There ain't no cure 
There ain't no cure 
There ain't no cure for love 

                Em            G 
(There ain't no cure for love) 
                Em         G 
(There ain't no cure for love) 
                           C 
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky 
          C 
The holy books are open wide 
             D 
The doctors working day and night 
             D                   Em            G 
But they'll never ever find that cure for love 

                  C 
(There ain't no drink, no drug) 
          A                           D 
(There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for love) 

I see you in the subway 
And I see you on the bus 
I see you lying down with me 
And I see you waking up 
I see your hand, I see your hair 
Your bracelets and your brush 
And I call to you, I call to you 
But I don't call soft enough 
There ain't no cure 
There ain't no cure 
There ain't no cure for love 

I walked into this empty church 
I had no place else to go 
When the sweetest voice I ever heard 
Whispered to my soul 
I don't need to be forgiven 
For loving you so much 
It's written in the scriptures 
It's written there in blood 
I even heard the angels 
Declare it from above 
There ain't no cure 
There ain't no cure 
There ain't no cure for love 

(There ain't no cure for love) 
(There ain't no cure for love) 
All the rocket ships are climbing through the sky 
The holy books are open wide 
The doctors working day and night 
But they'll never ever find that cure, that cure for love 
     Em       G                    Em       G 
(No cure for love, there ain't no cure for love...)
