When Love Comes To Town

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
Under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe [Am]I was [Am7]wrong [Am]to [C7]ever let you [A7down
But I did what I did before love came to [C7]town

Used to [C7]find love under a ɾed sunset
I was [Am7]making promises I was [Am7]soon [C7]to [C7]forget
I was [Am7]as pale as the lace on [C7]my [A]wedding gown
But I left him standing before love came to [C7]town

I ɾan into [C7]a juke joint when I heard the guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was [Am7]dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my [A]life turn around
That was [Am7]the day before love came to [C7]town

When love comes to [C7]town I'm gonna jump that tɾain
When love comes to [C7]town I'm gonna catch that flame
Well maybe [Am]I was [Am7]wrong [Am]to [C7]ever let you [A7down
But I did what I did before love came to [C7]town

I was [Am7]there when they crucified my [A]Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide

When love comes to [C7]town (baby) I'm gonna catch that tɾain
When love comes to [C7]town (baby) I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe [Am]I was [Am7]wrong [Am]to [C7]ever let you [A7down
But what I did before love came to [C7]town

Before love came to [C7]town
When love comes to [C7]town, when love comes to [C7]town,
When love comes to [C7]town, when love comes to [C7]town
Gonna, gonna catch that flame, when love comes to [C7]town,
When love comes to [C7]town, yeah when love comes to [C7]town,
When love, when love, when love, when love comes to [C7]town

Yeah when love comes to [C7]town
When love comes to [C7]town
