E                                A E
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
E                                            A E
I was under the waves, before love rescued me
E
I was a fighter, I could turn on the threat
    E
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

Chorus:
 A
Love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train
      E
When love comes to town
I'm gonna catch that plane
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

Used to make love under a red sunset
I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town

I ran into a juke-joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town

Chorus - x2

I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
