D
She stares into the mirror
       Bm               G D
Youth fading with the sun
D
The hollows in her face
      Bm      G   D
Like wishing wells
D
Scarlet as a papercut
     Bm               G  D
And jewelled as the Orion
D                      Bm             G  D
She'd never worn that jewellery as a girl

Chorus:
F                             G         D
She says 'the only thing I've ever found
                       F
That's greater than it always sounds
G   D
Is love'
F                             G         D
She says 'the only thing I've ever found
                       F
That's greater than it always sounds
G   D
Is love'

He stares into the river
Heart falling to the drift
An argument of cars
Moving full steam behind
Blood-shot as a baby
And sulking like a valley
Fishing in reflections, killing time

Chorus:
He says, "The only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love"
He says, "The only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love"

         Am
It's the bath that's getting cold
while you're frozen to your bed
     C                               G
The milk that's going rancid on the table
    Am
The panic in the evening, the photos in the dustbin,
     C                            G
the pointless items we forgot to label
          Am
It's the perfume on her wrist,
that stinks of easy birthdays
      G
The spare keys like asbestos on the side
           Dm
It's the cross around his neck,
for luck and not for honour
      C                         E              F
Like diamond over knuckle on a newly married bride

Chorus:
She says, "The only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love"
He says, "The only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love"
And I know the only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love
And I know the only thing I've ever found
That's greater than it always sounds
Is love
