Elaborate lives(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro: Eb    Cm add 7   Ab   Eb/Bb  Bb     
 
 
           Eb   Ab/Eb  Eb                   Ab    Db/Ab Ab 
We all lead             such elaborate lives 
 
             Bb    Eb/Bb Bb7     Eb     Ebsus Eb 
Wild ambitions           in our sights 
 
               Eb   Eb/F    G7                         Cm 
How an affair                   of the heart survives 
 
          Fm/Ab  Abmaj7 Bb7 
Days apart and hurried nights 
 
 
Bb       Bb       G7 
Seems quite unbelievable to me 
 
                       Cm             
I don't want to live like that 
 
 Cm     Cm      G7   
Seems quite unbelievable to me 
 
                       Cm 
I don't want to love like that 
 
Bb                             C        C7             F7      Bb7      
Bb   Ab/Eb  Eb 
I just want our time to be     slower and gentler, wi-----ser,  free 
 
We all live in extravagant times 
Playing games we can't all win 
Unintended emotional crimes 
Take some out, take others in 
 
I'm so tired of all we're going through 
I don't want to live like that 
I'm so tired of all we're going through 
I don't want to love like that 
I just want to be with you now and forever, peaceful, true 
 
 
Eb                     Ab      Db/Ab  Ab 
I wish I had the courage 
 
                             Eb  Ab/Eb  Eb 
To tell you face to face 
 
                              F7 
But I could wait forever 
 
                                      Bb      Ab/Bb 
For the perfect time and place 
 
 
Ab/Bb  Eb         (rest of verse same as 1st) 
We all   live such elaborate lives 
We don't know whose words are true 
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives 
Hard to know whose loving who 
 
Too many choices tear us apart 
I don't want to live like that 
Too many choices tear us apart 
I don't want to love like that 
 
 
I just want to touch your heart, may this confession be the start 
    
Fine: Eb   Cm7   Ab   Eb/Bb   Bb7   Eb
