[E] ♪ Hey yeah [A] yeah, [E] hey yeah yeah, oh ♪
♪ I was a sailor, I was lost at [A] sea [E]
♪ I was under the waves before love rescued me ♪
♪ I was afraid that I could turn over a thread ♪
♪ Now I stand accused of the things I've said ♪
[A] Love threw me down that train ♪
[E] When love cuts me down I'm gonna catch that train ♪
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before [B] love came to [E] town
[A] [E] Used
[A] [E] to make love on the red sunset
It's making promises I'll soon forget
[A] [E] She's stealing the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town
[A] Letter to her children when I left the kid in the street
[E] The notes will turn to blue as days end in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
The day before love came to town
[A] When 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
When
[Em] [E]
[Em] [A] love comes to town I'm gonna jump that [E] train
When love comes to town I'm gonna [Em] catch that [E] plane
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But [B] I did what I did before love [Am] came to [D] town
[E]
[Em] [E]
[A] [Em] [E]
[A] [E] I was there when the truth found my love
I held the scabbard when [F#m] the soldier drew his [Em] sword
I knew that night when the piercing sight
But I've seen love conquer the great [A] divide
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that [E] train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you [G] down
But [E] I did what I did before love came to town

When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane
Maybe I was wrong
[A] to ever let you [E] down
But I did what I did before love [A] came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
When
[Bm] [E] love comes to town I'm gonna catch that plane
