If Love Is a Red Dress

[Intro] D  A  D  A  G  D  A

A   D         A         A
My heart is empty
E     E            A           D
Your eyes are dull
A      D           A          A
Once we were hungry
G  D               A           A7
    Now we are full
D      D7          A           A
These ties that bind us
B                       D      D         D      D
Can't beat these chains
A  D        A       A
If love is shelter
G                 D              A
   I'm gonna walk in the rain
A   D         A         A
You were my angel
E     E            A           D
Now, you are real
A      D           A          A
So like a stranger
G  D               A           A7
Colder than steel
D      D7          A           A
The morning after
B                       D      D         D      D
You know what you bring
A  D        A       A
If love is a red dress
G                 D              A
Well, hang me in rags

D   D7      A
Away
E                     D     A
There goes the fairy tale
D      D7         A
Lord, ain't it a shame?
D             A
In all this comfort
G             D     A
I can't take the strain

A   D         A         A
If we played even
E     E            A           D
I'd be your queen
A      D           A          A
But someone was cheatin'
G  D               A           A7
And it wasn't me
D      D7          A           A
I've laid it on the table
B                       D      D         D      D
You had something back
A  D        A       A
If love is Aces
G                 D              A
Give me the Jack
