Capo 4
[Intro]
Am F Dm E Am
[Verse 1]
Am G Am
We find ourselves on Different Sides of a line nobody drew
G Am
Though it only be one in the higher eye, down here where we live it is two
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
I to my side call the meek and the mild, you to your side call the Word
G Am
By virtue of suffering I claim to have won, you claim to have never been heard
[Chorus]
C G
Both of us say there are laws to obey, yeah but frankly I don't like your tone
C G Am
You want to change the way I make love, but I want to leave it alone - alone
[Verse 3]
Am G Am
The pull of the moon, the thrust of the sun, thus, the ocean is crossed
G Am
The waters are blessed while a shadowy guest kindles a light for the lost
[Chorus]
C G
Both of us say there are laws to obey, yeah but frankly I don't like your tone
C G
You want to change the way I make love, but I, I want to leave it alone
[Bridge]
E Am
Down in the valley the famine goes on, famine up on the hill
E Am
I say that you shouldn't, you couldn't, you can't, you say that you must and you will
[Instrumental Chorus]
C G C G Am
[Verse 4]
Am G Am
You want to live where the suffering is, I want to get out of town
G Am
C'mon baby, give me a kiss, stop writing everything down
[Chorus]
C G
Both of us say there are laws to obey, yeah but frankly I don't like your tone
C G
You want to change the way I make love, but I, I want to leave it alone
[Chorus]
C G
Both of us say there are laws to obey, yeah but frankly I don't like your tone
C G
You want to change the way I make love, but I, I want to leave it alone
