NOTE: If a chord is in parentheses it means it’s struck before the word.

(Dm, C, Bb x 4 ‘ intro)

[(Dm)]I used to think that I knew what we needed
[(Dm)]I just assumed we would always be fine
[(Dm)]Now I don’t think that we lost the feeling,
But we...let everything build up inside

It’s only love...but love
[(Dm)]Should make us strong
It’s only love...but love
[(Dm)]Has been...hurting so long

(Dm, C, Bb)

[(Dm)]What a challenge…honesty
[(Dm)]What a struggle to learn to speak
[(Dm)]Who’d have thought that pretending was easier?

(Dm, C, Bb)

It’s only love...but love
[(Dm)]Should make us strong
It’s only love...but love
[(Dm)]Has been...hurting so...long

And it’s all a part of me
Tearin’ my heart
Only...love
And it’s all an eternity
Hoping to learn
Only...love

[(Dm)]Love...
Ooh…

[(Dm)]There’s a part of you I’m trying to reach
[(Dm)]Still a part I don’t know. Tell me,
[(Dm)]Is devotion a gift or a thief?
[(Dm)]Do you wish I’d let go?

It’s only love...but love
[(Dm)]Should make us strong
It’s only love...but love
[(Dm)]Has been...hurting so...long

And it’s all a part of me
Tearin’ my heart
Only...love
And it’s all an eternity
Hoping to learn

Only...love... only love, oh,
[(C)]Only love
Only love, oh...only

[(F)]Love, only...love, only…love, only…only
[(F)]Love, only...love, only…love, only
Love.…..…only
Love...only
Love

Heather uses a capo on 2nd

Intro

B C#m Abm F# x2

Verse

Tried to reach you yesterday

To lie the lion down beside the lamb

Tried to find the words to say

I tried to put the white dove in your hands

Prechorus

I’m happy to take my turn, I’m happy to live and learn

I’m happy to let this slide, until you come around

Chorus

Cause it’s a beautiful ride, as long as we’re living

It’s a beautiful ride, I don’t mind if you’re willing

Cause you and I, circle in the same sky

You and I, could fly side by side

On this beautiful ride

Verse

We’re living with the tapestry

The energy of everything we’ve done

A little bit of you in me

A little bit of hope in everyone

Prechorus

I’m happy to make it right, I’m happy to stay all night

I’m happy to let this go, until you come around

Chorus

Cause it’s a beautiful ride, as long as we’re living

It’s a beautiful ride, I don’t mind if you’re willing

Cause you and I, circle in the same sky

You and I, could fly side by side

E (B C#m Abm F#) x2
On this beautiful ride, ooh

Yeah you and I, circle in the same sky

You and I, could fly side by side

On this beautiful ride

Chorus

It’s a beautiful ride, as long as we’re living

It’s a beautiful ride, I don’t mind if you’re willing

It’s a beautiful ride, look out your window

It’s a beautiful ride, ooh

It’s a beautiful ride, as long as we’re living

B C#m E F# End on B
There’s peace and forgiving

(Chorus)
A mother should say,
A father should say,
You look up,
Look down,
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your ear to the ground

(verse)
It’s washing over me
It’s spinning under me
And am I looking up at angels
Or am I really looking up at clouds passing by?
And when I say I’m listening
Why is it I only hear you when you cry?

(Chorus)
A mother should say,
A father should say,
You look up,
Look down,
Keep your ear to the ground
Keep your ear to the ground

Verse/Bridge:
This is the main riff played all the way through the song:

Dm G5 Dm Am7 4x

||------5-----5-----|-----3-----3-----|-----1-----1-----|-----3-----3--/6--||
||o---6-----6-------|---3-----3-------|---3-----3-----1-|---1-----1-------o||

||--0-----0-----0---|-5-----5-----5---|-0-----0-----0---|-------2----------||
||o-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-0---------------o||
||------------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------||

In the third bar of the riff she often plays around with this little fill
around the open e-string. Sometimes also at the same place in the chorus:

|----0h1p0----0-----|
|---3-------3-----1-|
|-------------------|
|-0-------0-----0---|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|

Chorus:

|-----5-----5-----|-----3-----3-----|-----1-----1-----|-----3-----3-----|
|---6-----6-------|---3-----3-------|---3-----3-----1-|---1-----1-------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

|-0-----0-----0---|-----------------|-0-----0-----0---|-3---------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

LIVE VARIATIONS:

The main riff has developed since it was recorded back in ’98,
so today Heather plays it like like this:

|-------5---------|-------3---------|-------1---------|-------3-----3/6-|
|---6-------6-----|---3-------3-----|---3-------3---1-|---1-------1-----|
|-----5-------5---|-----4-------4---|-----2-------2---|-----0-----------|
|-0-------0-------|-5-------5-------|-0-------0-------|-2-------2-------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

In the bridge she strums the chords live:

|-5---5---5-5-----|-3---3---3-3-----|-1---1---1-1-----|-0---0---0-0-----|
|-6---6---6-6-----|-3---3---3-3-----|-3---3---3-3-----|-1---1---1-1-----|

LYRICS

Morning is almost here – let it wait
I just want to lie here awhile, tempting fate
I don’t think I could breathe now with you gone
But it’s not weakness it’s just something I’ve begun

Maybe there’s a light that’s always on
Maybe we’re not only human
Maybe there’s a light that’s always on
And we’re not only human

When you’re sleeping your ceramic
You’re surrounded by little stars
Every shimmer is a searchlight
Every planet is ours
Change the street change the decade
Still the longing’s left inside
But why am I too small to carry you?
Why does twilight make me cry?

When all the weight is gone
When all is said and done
We’re not only human

Life is something set to music
I can hear it when I’m sad
There’s a chord in every muscle
Every kiss you ever had
There’s a power when you’re near me
In our heads or in our bones
I know nothing but I’m guessing
When we die we’re not alone
