How Do You Keep Love Alive - Ryan Adams - lyrics Chords

[D#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [C#] _ [B] Lord, [C#] miss that girl [F#] On the day we [B] met
The sun was shining down [C#] Down on the valley
[F#] We rode with horses [B] running Crushing them flowers
[C#] I would have [F#] picked her Up [C#] on the day [B] she was born
She [C#] runs through my [F#] veins Like a long black [B] river
And rattles my cage Like a thunderstorm
[F#] Oh, my soul
_ [D#m] What does it mean?
What does it mean?
What [C#] does it mean to be [D#m] so sad?
When someone you love, someone [B] you love
Is supposed [F#] to make you happy
What do you do?
[B] How do you keep [F#] love alive?
_ _ [C#] _ _
[B] _ [F#] When it works
[C#] What, _
_ _ [B] _ [C#] what are the words [F#] they use
When they [B] know it's over?
[C#] We need to talk or [F#] I'm confused
[D#m] Maybe [B] later you can come over
I [C#] would have [F#] held your [C#] mother's hand
On the day [B] you were born
She [C#] runs through my [F#] veins Like a long black [B] river
And rattles my cage Like a thunderstorm
[F#] Oh, my soul
[D#] What [D#m]
does it mean?
What does it mean?
[B] What does it mean to [D#] be so [D#m] sad?
When someone you love, [B] someone you love
Is [C#] supposed to make you happy
What do you [F#] do?
How do you keep love alive?
_ [C#] _ _
[B] _ [F#] When it works
_ How [B] do you [F#] keep love alive?
[C#] _ _ _
[B] _ [D#m] When it won't
_ [B] How [F#] do you keep love alive? _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ When it won't _ _ _
