[Intro]
 
E          A
Love is a verb
B           E
It ain't a thing
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
           E           A
It's not something you own
            B             E

E                  A
When you show me love,
   B               C#m
I don't need your words**

No, you can't get through love
           B           E
On just a pile of I.O.U.s
E              A
Love ain't a drug
     B               C#m
Despite what you've heard**
