How We Love

E  
I knew a  man who was afraid to love 
to lay his heart on the bathroom rug 
A 
he drank his coffee in the same old mug 
E  
and sat in silence ?til the world fell numb 
  
A 
until the day when a girl came by 
E 
she had eyes like the rising tide 
C#m 
he felt a sharpness deep inside 
A  
the kind of ache that can?t be satisfied 

Bm  
E  
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes 
  
A  
But how we love when it washes our cars 
E 
we love to love when it fills up the room 
but when it leaves oh we?re cursing the stars 


A 
so he turned to the radio 
F#                Bm 
and he went to a  picture show 
E  
tried to find someone else who knows 
        A                   B  
all the hurt that a heart can hold 
she smelled like cinnamon and winter clove 
   C#m       A                     F# 
and sparked  like firewood inside a stove 
      C#m               E          A 
wanted to ask her just to sit and  stay 
                          C#m      A  
instead he watched as she walked away 
  
                              Bm   E 
we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes 
                A              Bm 
but how we love  when it washes our cars 
we love to love when it fills up the room 
but when it leaves oh we?re cursing the stars 
  
C#m   A                 Ebm        Am 
we  hate the rain when it fills up  our shoes 
                                   B  
but how we love when it washes our  cars 
        A 
we love  to love when it fills up the room 
         E  
but when  it leaves oh we?re cursing the stars
