[Intro]
D A Bm G

[Verse 1]
G
Clear blue water
High tide came and
             D
brought you in

And I could go on and on,
on and on, and I will
G
Skies grew darker
                            D
Currents swept you out again
And you were just
gone and gone,
gone and gone

[Pre-Chorus]
   G
In silent screams,
    Bm
in wildest dreams
  G
I never dreamed of this

[Chorus]
     D
This love is good,
this love is bad
     A
This love is alive
back from the dead, oh
Bm
  These hands had to
let it go free and
G
 This love came back to me,
 oh
D  A   Bm G
 Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
G
Tossing, turning

Struggled through the
                    D
 night with someone new

Baby, I could go on and on,
on and on
G
Lantern, burning
Flickered in my mind
          D
for only you

But you were still gone,
 gone, gone

[Pre-Chorus]
   G               Bm
In losin' grip, on sinking
ships
    G
You showed up just in time

[Chorus]
     D
This love is good,
this love is bad
     A
This love is alive back
from the dead, oh
Bm
  These hands had to let
it go free and
G
 This love came back to me,
oh
D
 This love left a
permanent mark
     A
This love is glowing
 in the dark, oh
Bm
  These hands had to
let it go free and
G
 This love came back
to me, oh
