Limits To Love

***Intro:

Em D/F# G C

Em D C G

*** Verse: 1

Em D/F# G C

We've known her ever since she was a kid

Em D C G

she was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes

Em D/F# G C

Her parents never minded what she did

Em D C G

She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face

Am G/B C D

But past a certain point she stayed behind

Am G/B C D

the two of us could never read her mind

Am G/B C D

the million ways she had of killing time

*** Chorus:

Em D C

So we just gave up

Em D C

yeah we just gave up

Em D

'cause sometimes, you know

C G

there's limits to love

C G C G

*** Verse 2:

We'd get impatient with her now and then Em D/F# G C

oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.' Em D C G

I guess her definition of a friend Em D/F# G C

was someone long on love, and short on advice Em D C G

We gave her money but the money's bad Am G/B C D

She took the dollars and just tore them in half Am G/B C D

We got so angry, we just had to laugh Am G/B C D

*** Chorus:

but we still gave up Em D C

yeah we still gave up Em D C

'cause sometimes, you know Em D

there's limits to love C G | C G | C G

*** Instrumental:

** Verse 3:

She'll get in trouble but she will scrape through Em D/F# G C

oh, she's the kind of girl who can always find help Em D C G

I'd say she's stupid, but it'd be untrue Em D/F# G C

oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself Em D C G

We tried to love her, but our love unwound Am G/B C D

(so our love was weak)

We talked about her when she wasn't around Am G/B C D

(so our talk was cheap)

and still we felt that we were letting her down Am G/B C D

*** Chorus:

'cause we just gave up Em D C

yeah we just gave up Em D C

'cause sometimes, you know Em D

there's limits to love C G

Sometimes you know Em D

there's limits to love C G
