There are two riffs, #1 corresponds to Ian's vocals.

#2 corresponds to the "background" (dunno the English word)

You'll have to figure out the rhythm for yourselves, the best source to aid is

imo the 2nd JD Peel Session.

When playing alone, switch from one riff to another (assuming that you are not

capable of playing two guitars simultaneously :)

*** Eternal thanks to Noam Chamiel and Ruth Cohen ***

Lyrics/Chords (from memory, so watch out for mistakes):

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9

When routine bites hard

Bm [Em7-] A

And ambitions are low

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9

And resentment rides high

Bm [Em7-] A

But emotions won't grow

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9

And we're changing our ways

Bm [Em7-] A

Taking different roads

Em D Dsus4 D Dmaj9 Bm A

Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is this bedroom so cold?

You turned away on your side

Is my timing that flawed?

Am I feeling surprised? [in other versions: our respect runs so dry]

Yet there's still this appeal

That we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear it apart again

You cry out in your sleep

All my feelings exposed

And there's a taste in my mouth

As despiration takes hold

Yet, that somehing's so good

Just can't function no more, when

Love, love will tear us apart again

Cheers,

o o
