Speed of Love

December 13th, 2009

Lyrics and Chords

INTRO ; Emaj7   B
Emaj7                                               Bmaj7

Watching the white horses roll

Emaj7                                               Bmaj7

Watching them fall, lose control

E                    C#min7

See them ride

E                    C#min7                       Bmaj7

And in the wild blue wine, unfold

B                   Bmaj7                    B7

I want to know the speed of love

E                                         F#

I want to fly before I burn out

E                    C#min7                       Bmaj7

Before the songs in my head evanesce

E                                         F#                     Emaj7                      Bmaj7

I want to live with what I’ve lived without

Emaj7                                               Bmaj7

Watching the storm petrels fly

Emaj7                                               Bmaj7

Over the sundog, under the eventide

E                    C#min7               E                    C#min7

To be always knowing where you’re going

Bmaj7

And why

B                   Bmaj7                    B7

I want to know the speed of love

E                                         F#

I want to fly before I burn out

E                    C#min7                       Bmaj7

Before the songs in my head evanesce

E                                         F#                     Emaj7

I want to live with what I’ve lived without

Emaj7

Calgary beach

Bmaj7

The smell of gorse like coconut and peach

Emaj7                                                                    Bmaj7

And the world stretched out in front of me

E                    C#min7

I want to ride

E                    C#min7

And down the brine

Bmaj7

Find gold

B                   Bmaj7                    B7

I want to know the speed of love

E                                         F#

I want to fly before I burn out

E                    C#min7                       Bmaj7

Before the songs in my head evanesce

E                                         F#                     Emaj7                      Bmaj7

I want to live with what I’ve lived without
