2. Love Lies Bleeding

The roses in the window box have tilted to one side.
Everything about this house was born to grow and die.
Oh, it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day.
You said I'm sorry, honey, if I don't change the pace,
I can't face another day.

And love lies bleeding in my hands .
Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man.
I was playing rock n' roll and you were just a fan.
But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band.
Love lies bleeding in my hands.

I wonder if those changes have left a scar on you
(Ah, ah, ah, ah.)
Like all the burning hoops of fire that you and I passed through.
(Ah, ah, ah, ah.)
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line.
I hope you're happy now.
Well, if the wind of change comes down your way, girl,
You'll make it back somehow.

And love lies bleeding in my hands.
Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man.
I was playing rock n' roll and you were just a fan.
But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band.
Love lies bleeding in my hands.

(Guitar and band playing)

And love lies bleeding in my hands.
Oh, it kills me to think of you with another man.
I was playing rock n' roll and you were just a fan.
But my guitar couldn't hold you, so I split the band.
Love lies bleeding in my hands.

Ohhhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh.
Ohhhhhhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhhhhhhh.
Love lies bleeding in my hands.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
