LOVE OF OUR LIVES (E. Saliers) i guess the tuning the play in is something like DADF#AD. Anyway i'm gonna put down the basic chords so you can play the song in way that sounds quite similar. Capo on the 2nd fret Asus2 002200 E Asus2 I open my hands out to see what I've got E Asus2 F#m My days slip like coins into a slot they are gone Asus2 Asus2 The shadows lie long E Asus2 I've been banking on a broken machine E Asus2 Left unattended like most of my dreams F#m Asus2 Asus2 Rusted components of an unmarked song A B We've been staring down the brilliant dream C#m B The sun burns our eyes A B E We've been fighting for the love of our lives E Asus2 All around us things come apart E Asus2 Broken pieces, broken hearts E Asus2 Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing Person to person, nation to nation Heels dug in, no communication F#m AsEs2 Wily time sneaks her weathering (same chorus) We've been waiting to be held by binding ties We've been fighting for the love of our lives A E And when it breaks down, I beg you don't go F#m E I circle your ship, I'm ready to blow A B I try to outflank you with an army of words, I strategize A B Asus2 I am fighting for the love of my life Iron, water, oxygen, scotch and soda or any combination Starts the reaction Is there no mastermind of modern day who can blueprint A plan to make love stay Sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolution At the drawing board the hopeful ones still try How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives? Drawing board the hopeful ones still try How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives?
