[Intro] D D/B Asus4 G/D [Verse 1]
When the Dearth was still flat And the Bm7clouds made of fire And Asus4mountains stretched up to the sky G/DSometimes higher GFolks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs They had Dtwo sets of arms, they had two sets of legs The hadD/F# two faces peering out of Gone giant head So they couldEm watch all around them As they A7talked while they read And they Gnever knew Anothing of Dlove It was beGfore... Awhoa... the origin of Dlove G The origin of Dlove G
[Verse 2]
And there were Bmthree sexes then, one that looked Like two men glued up back to Dback, called the children of the Gsun. And simiBmlar in shape and girth were the children of the earth. They looked like.D.. two girls rolled up in Gone. And the chAildren of the moon Were like a forkBm shoved on a spoon. They were part C#msun, part earth, part Bmdaughter, part Ason. DMmmmm.G.. The origin of love D G
[Refrain]
Now the Dgods grew quite scared Of our Bm7strength and defiance And Thor saidAsus4, "I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer, G/DLike I killed the giants." And Zeus said, "No, you Gbetter let me
Use my lightning like scissors,
Like I cut the Dlegs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards." Then he D/F#grabbed up some bolts And he Glet out a laugh, Said, "I'll split them Emright down the middle. Gonna cut 'em A7right up in half." And then Gstorm cloudsA gathered aboDve Into great balls of Gfire
[Bridge]
And then fiBmre shot down from the sky in Gbolts Like shining blades of a knife. And it Bmripped right through the flesh Of the children of the Gsun and the moon and the earth. And some Indian Bmgod sewed the wound up into a hole Pulled it round to our belly to reGmind us of the price we pay. And OsBmiris and the gods of the Nile Gathered up a big Gstorm To blow a hurriEmcane, To scatter us aBmway, In a flood of wind and Grain, And a sea of tidal Emwaves, To wash us all awBmay, And if we don't beGhave They'll cut us down agEmain And we'll be hoAbpping round on Gone foot DAnd looking through one Geye.

DLast time I saw you We had Bm7just split in two. You were Glooking at me. I was loAoking at you. You had a Dway so familiar, But I Bm7could not recognize, 'Cause you had Gblood on your face; I had Ablood in my eyes. But I Dswear by your expression That the Bm7pain down in your soul Was the Gsame as the one down in Amine. That's the Dpain, Cuts a strBm7aight line down through the heGart; We call it Alove. We wrapped our Darms around each other, Trying to shove ourBm7selves back together. We were making loGve, Making Alove. It was a Dcold dark evening, such a longBm7 time ago, When by the Gmighty hand of AJove, It was a sadD story how we became lBm7onely two-legged creatures, That Gstory, the origin of Alove. That's the origin of lDove. G(Aw yeah!)
