Verse 1:
G                             B    C
  Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb
G                                 B       C
  The light would flicker like a violent womb
G                G              B      C
  The night was thicker than a smokey fume
G            Em     C
Eliza waited in the room

Verse 2:
G         G                B        C
 Benny loved her like he loved no one
G                 G               B       C
  The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun
G                G                B       C
  The way she always said what's done is done
G                   Em   C
And he was not the only one

Chorus:
G     G     G     G
Love is a gentle thing
Em          Em            G     Em
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Em         Em             G     Em
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

Verse 3:
G          G              B          C
a victim healer with a sharp sharp blade
G        G                B      C
Benny knew how she was getting paid
G                               Em      C
Her water broke and they would have to wade

Interlude (x4): G G B C

Verse 4:
G           G                B  C
  When he knew that she was fooling
G                G         B        C
  He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
G               G           B        C
  We're outta money and we sold the bling
    G       G      Em       C
And I just wanna  take you home,
G       G     Em       C
I just wanna  take you home

Chorus:
G     G     G     G
Love is a gentle thing
Em          Em            G     Em
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
Em         Em             G     Am
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
