I Let Love In

Bbm Db Bbm Ab

[Verse 1]
Bbm                         Db            Bbm
Despair and deception, love's ugly little twins
Ab                                     Bbm
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Bbm                                    Db    Bbm
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins
          Ab
I let love in
          Bbm
I let love in

[Verse 2]
Bbm                                   Db                  Bbm
The door, it opened just a crack, but love was shrewd and bold
Ab                                                 Bbm
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
Bbm                                    Db                      Bbm
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
          Ab
I let love in
          Bbm
I let love in
          Ab
I let love in
          Bbm

[Verse 3]
Bbm                                 Db            Bbm
Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
Ab                                            Bbm
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized
Bbm                            Db               Bbm
But never has my tormenter had such a cunning disguise
          Ab
I let love in
          Bbm
I let love in
          Ab
I let love in
          Bbm
I let love in

[Verse 4]
Db                                                         Bbm
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door
Ab                                                       Bbm
And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Bbm                                   Db                  Bbm
Far worse to be love's lover than the lover that love has scorned
          Ab
I let love in
