Eb9
Some people tell me that love is a feeling
               Ab                  D
Or a position, somehow it seems so cold
    Fm/C            Bbm
Somehow it feels so cold
When they say love is sweet 'cause it ain't natural either
Maybe you think it, does it fill up an empty hall,   yeah

Ab/Bb   Bbm    Bbm7     Ab   Gbm7                         Fm7
(Lookin'       for      a    love) Lookin' for a love and I may not find it     Bb7
(Lookin' for a love) No, it don't mean a thing without some verbtion behind it, yeah
Eb     Bb/Eb Ab/Eb
(Please come home) I can hear him calling "Please come home"
Eb            Bb/E         Ab
(Please don't leave us all alone) Your mama and your papa are cryin' on their own
           Eb/G              Ab
You better let it magnetise, learn to sacrifice
                Fm7                 Ab/Bb          Bb       Eb9
'Til we get the true version of the meaning of the verb 'to love'
                             Eb                      Eb9
(What does it mean to love?) Meaning of the verb 'to love'
                      Eb
(What does it mean to love?)

When somebody needs love do they spend some money?
Say something funny? Ask for some tenderness?
Only tenderness
And when you want a love you lie on your back
Stand on your head, how can you feel it there? Oooh

(Lookin' for a love) Lookin' for a love with no strings attached
(Lookin' for a love) You take me like a hammer to your only cat, yeah
(Please come home) I can hear him calling "Please come home"
(Please don't leave us all alone) Your wife and your lover cryin' all alone
You better let it magnetise, learn to sacrifice
'Til we learn the true version of the meaning of the verb 'to love'

        Fm7
Does it mean any more the more you talk about it?
Cm7                    Fm7
(Sing your lovers song alone) Is it any more real if you jump around and shout it?
Cm7        Fm
(Love) I'm sick and tired of hearin' 'bout everyone without it
Bb6
Too much talkin' sends me walkin'
                                           Eb9
Not installing and everybody's calling for love

instrumental verse

(Lookin' for a love) Everybody's lookind for their one and only
(Lookin' for a love) That's all they got to gain 'cause they're scared to be lonely
(Please come home) I can hear him calling "Please come home"
(Please don't leave us all alone) Your brothers and your sisters are cryin' all alone
You gotta let it magnetise, learn to sacrifice
'Til we get the true version of the meaning of the verb 'to love'
(What does it mean to love?) Meaning of the verb 'to love'
(What does it mean to love?) Meaning of the verb 'to love'
repeat to fade
