Intro]

[Verse 1]
There’s a truth I need to trust
But I can’t remember how
It’s stuck there in the stillness
But the noise is too damn loud
And I thought I [D/F#]was an actor
I’d let my [D/F#]colors show
But what if I’m just a bastard
Laying low inside your radio

[Verse 2]
Won’t you help me make a fist
And choke the poison back
We’ll close our eyes each godforsaken time
The world gets painted black
And we’ll wonder [D/F#]where it comes from
How the pain cuts [D/F#]through the pride
When the tools we use to fix ourselves
Are just the fools we stood beside

But love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you
[Verse 3]
Devotion strong but tender
Devotion dark and cold
Devotion like an anchor
Swinging from my soul
I used to [D/F#]weigh the distance
I used to [D/F#]miss my cues
I used to say I love you
Then wonder who I’m talking to

{Chorus]
But love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you

[Piano solo]
with verse chords.

[Verse 4]
So bring my all your questions
Bring me all your doubts
Don’t let me meet the devil
That I sang those songs about
Cause the hounds of [D/F#]youth are howling
And you’re all I’ve [D/F#]got to trust
With heaven’s lonely ghetto
Up there crying down on us

But love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you

Yeah, love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, love is [D/F#]not an answer
Oh, I don’t [D/F#]need an answer
I need you
I need you
