Verse
 
           Am Dm* 
Love's a gun 
               Am Dm* 
The safety's off 
           Am                   Am 
And in the chamber there's a bullet 
         Emaj7 
But only one 
          Am Dm* 
Spin it round 
            Am Dm* 
Test your luck 
          Am 
Pull the trigger 
                              E E* 
And you'll know what you have won 
 
Chorus
            C 
It's either bang 
               G 
A bright red flash of light 
    F         C 
And sweet oblivion 
     C 
Or a click 
           E/G 
That means another round 
   F7          C 
Of tense anticipation 
       C                   G 
Is the pain worse than the waiting 
     F                C 
Only you can make the call 
         C* 
Just one click 
                               E  E* 
And you will see what you have done 
         Am  Dm 
Love's a gun 
 
Verse
        Am 
Love's a game 
             Dm7 
With cups and balls 
             Am 
You pay your money 
            Caug 
The ball is hidden 
        G                 E 
And the cups all look the same 
               Am                 Dm 
You watch each move, you know the con 
            Am     Am/B    Am/C 
You've been fooled before so concentrate 
  Dm             E 
Remember why you came 
 
Chorus
           C                  G 
Cause this time you know your choice is right 
       F                C 
You've finally beat the odds 
            C 
But when he lifts the cup 
     F 
It's empty 
        F* 
You're fooled again 
                     Fdim E* 
So hang your head in shame 
         Am  Dm 
Love's a game 
 
Bridge
         A    Dbm 
Love's a play 
             Dbdim 
You know the plot 
       Dbm     F                  E 
It's a comedy...or that's what people say 
        A  Dbm/Ab 
Curtain up 
              Gbm E 
You hear your cue 
          A              Asus4 
Boys meet girls and then hijinks ensue 
   E 
It happens every day 
 
Chorus
         Gbm              Gbm/F 
And they tell you when to enter 
         D 
Where to go 
           D 
And what to say 
       Gbm       Gbm/E 
And it all seems predetermined 
            D 
Like you're programmed to obey 
              Gbm           Gbm/F          Gbm/E          F 
And if you're lucky you get married to someone you hardly know 
N.C. 
Then applause 
            E 
Then no one tells you what to say 
N.C. 
It always ends this way 
         F 
Love's a play 
 
Verse 2
         Am     Am/Ab 
Love's a crime 
         Am/G  Am/Gb 
A bloody scene 
    Am/F 
The bodies piling up 
    Am/E 
And clues galore 
    Am/Eb      Am/D     Am/Db  Am/C 
But who knows what they mean 
        Am Am/B 
Another hit 
          Am/C Am/D 
A k*lling spree 
            Am/E 
The k*ller can't stop his compulsion 
                             E 
He can't wipe his conscience clean 
 
Chorus
        C           G 
And the evidence is shaky 
        F       C 
And the jury is asleep 
        C             G 
And the lawyers are incompetent 
    F                    C 
The judge bribed on the cheap 
         C              C/B               Am            F 
And it's hard to figure out if you're the victim or the perp 
                        E     E 
Either way you're doing time 
         Am Dm 
Love's a crime
