Love Is Not An Answer(Ukulele chords)

	        
Intro: D G 

verse 1 
          D                     G D 
There's a truth I need to trust 
            G                   D G D G 
But I can't remember how 
     D                  G          D 
It's stuck there in the stillness 
                 G                 D G D G 
But the noise is too damn loud 
      G         D/F#   Em 
And I thought I was an actor 
    G      D/F#   Em 
I'd let my colors show 
    D                          G 
But what if I'm just a bastard 
       D          G 
Laying low inside your radio 

D G D G 

verse 2 
          D                   G D 
Won't you help me make a fist 
                G    D        G D 
And choke the poison back 
G               D            G        D 
We'll close our eyes each godforsaken time 
          G            D      G D G 
The world gets painted black 
          G      D/F#     Em 
And we'll wonder where it comes from 
        G         D/F#        Em 
How the pain cuts through the pride 
         D                   G         D 
When the tools we use to fix ourselves 
                   G                D G D G 
Are just the fools we stood beside 

 
    G       D/F#   Em 
But love is not an answer 
    G       D/F#    Em 
Oh, I don't need an answer 
       D    G D G 
I need you 

  
verse 3 
  D                       G D 
Devotion strong but tender 
         G        D        G D G 
Devotion dark and cold 
  D              G         D 
Devotion like an anchor 
         G       D         G D G 
Swinging from my soul 
  G       D/F#      Em 
I used to weigh the distance 
  G       D/F#    Em 
I used to miss my cues 
  D                      G D 
I used to say I love you 
                G           D G D G 
Then wonder who I'm talking to 

 
    G       D/F#   Em 
But love is not an answer 
    G       D/F#    Em 
Oh, I don't need an answer 
       D    G D G 
I need you

verse 4 
   D                         G D 
So bring my all your questions 
         G        D          G D G 
Bring me all your doubts 
      D                      G D 
Don't let me meet the devil 
            G           D    G D G 
That I sang those songs about 
          G         D/F#      Em 
Cause the hounds of youth are howling 
           G        D/F#   Em 
And you're all I've got to trust 
     D                       G D 
With heaven's lonely ghetto 
                G       D    G D 
Up there crying down on us 

 
    G       D/F#   Em 
But love is not an answer 
    G       D/F#    Em 
Oh, I don't need an answer 
       D    G D G 
I need you 

      G       D/F#   Em 
Yeah, love is not an answer 
    G       D/F#   Em 
Oh, love is not an answer 
    G       D/F#    Em 
Oh, I don't need an answer 
       D    G D G 
I need you 
       D    G D G 
I need you
