If Love Is a Red Dress

D A D A G D A


[Verse 1]

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,
B7                 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.


[Verse 2]

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,
B7                 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.


[Chorus]

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.


[Verse 3]

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,
B7                 D      D         D      D
You had something back.
A  D        A       A
If love is Aces,
G                 D              A
Give me the Jack
