E                      B        C#m
Some people stay all alone and hide
E                         B       C#m
They don't even want to know the reason why
E                            B       C#m
They've given up on finding someone new
     A        E                 B       C#m
But new love comes, it's gonna come for you
       A        E                 B      C#m A
When true love comes, it's gonna comfort you

Now you say you've got a broken heart
You ought to know this side of love
can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes because your heart's gonna mend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'l fall in love again

Chorus:
D          E
But I know, I know that you're
F#m
Down on love
             D         E
But you're wrong, so wrong
   F#m
To be down on love

Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like falling rain
Face up to it and don't pretend
And maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight you'll fall in love again
Just once in a life you'll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries

Chorus:
But you're wrong, so wrong to be
Down on love
You know you're not the only one
See I've been down on love

    D
In matters of the heart
             E
You better know before you start
              F#m
You can't get down on love
   D
So always be prepared
        E
To be alone and a little scared
           F#m         A                   E
But never down on love Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh

You see you can't stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Don't get down on love
This ain't right baby, no
Down on love
Don't you go through life living down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life living down on love
Down on love
Don't you go through life down on love
Down on love[x2]
