[Verse 1]
               B    E                  B
Oh, the myth of love Iike some new best friend
E                       B            E             B
The bright promise of tomorrow and tomorrow without end
E                   B      E                  B
Oh but I should know better life is no wishing well
E              B               E                   B     E
Yeah, there's a story here baby But it's so hard to tell

[Chorus]
Gb                          Abm        E
You might say that innocence is my only crime
               B    E                 B   E
And the myth of love walks a thin hard line

               B             E                                B
Well I hear you talkin' but I just don't want to talk about it now
E              B       E                  B
I can't seem to find my way back, way back down
E            B     E                 B
I get no surprises, I get no soft and lonely
E                     B       E            B    E
Watch your pretty blue eyes as they turn on me

[Chorus]
Gb                          Abm        E
You might say that blindness is my only crime
               B         E                   B    E
And the myth of love is a light that will not shine, oh

Oh baby hold me close until I cannot breathe
E      B                   E                 B
Hold me close to this sweet earth so I cannot leave it
E             B    E                 B   E
Oh the myth of love like some clarion call
        B        E               B  E
It could save us, save us one and all

[Chorus]
Gb                          Abm        E
You might say that innocence is my only crime
               B    E                             B  E  B
And the myth of love laughs and spins the hands of time

[Outro]
E                     B
And I said the myth of love
E                     B
And I said the myth of love
E                     B
And I said the myth of love
E                     B
And I said the myth of love, love, love, sweet love, sweet love
                   B  E  B  E  B  E  B  E  B  E  B  E  B  E  B  E  A  B
Love, love, sweet love
