Verse: 
 
            F          C                G             Am 
He said "John I do believe I've seen Virginia to the end 
            F          C                G                
I find myself about as far as I can go 
            F          C                 
It culminated late last night  
               Em               Am                      F 
From pointed fingers starting fires that burned since years ago 
            G          G6 
We've fallen out of love." 
 
 
 
          C   F              Am            G                     C     F 
I said "friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear  
                Am                  G                   Am 
Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear 
                F                   C              Cm 
You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along  
               Dm                   G 
And then you love someone, but not 'til then 
           G6 
You love someone"

Verse:
 
    F                    C 
Haunted by computer screens 
          G 
The world around him 
          Am               F          C        G 
Grass was greener on the other end 
         F                  C 
She could see it in his eyes 
      Em                      Am 
The love had left and it had died 
              F 
And she was left that way  
             G                   G6 
With nothing left for her to say 
 
 
          C   F              Am            G                     C     F 
So she said "Love, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear  
              Am                    G                    Am 
Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear 
               F                     C             Cm 
You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along  
           Dm                           G 
And then you love someone but not 'til then 
       G6 
You love 'til then you love." 
 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
            F           C                 G            Am 
It took love to finally see the pointed fingers back at me 
            F           C                 G 
A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired. 
            F           C                 G 
A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired. 
 
F   C   G (2x)   
 
F                C       
So a sword retired  
         G 
It's a sword retired 
F               C  
Yes a sword retired  
G 
It's a sword retired 
 
 
          C   F              Am            G                     C     F 
I said "Friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear  
                Am                G                      Am 
Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear 
                 F                   C             Cm 
You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along  
             Dm                            G 
And then you love someone but not 'til then 
G6 
You love someone"
