Intro:  G  F  Am7  C

Verse 1
G                         F                   Am7     C      G
A room sometimes is a body with the loneliest view
G                                    F
and porch lights grow dim with every onsetting hour
        Am7           C         G
and the stars seem so finite to you

Chorus 1
Am7                             G
but love it ain't like the chemicals, babe
        F         Am7        G
cuz the chemicals don't hang around
Am7                         G
everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth
        F     Am7       C     G
losing years on the way down
        F     Am7       C     G
losing years on the way down

Bridge
            C                                              G
But I wanna love you when the blood of my veins don't know how to
                                 C                 Am7   C          G
call out your name, yeah I wanna love you when the birds don't hang around

Chorus 3

but love it ain't like the chemicals, babe
cuz the chemicals don't hang around
everybody's drilling for a fountain of youth
                                      C     G/B  Bb6  Asus4  G
but sometimes in these fountains they drown
