 Intro 
E, A, E
 Verse  1
E                     A       E
I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
E                             A            E
I was under the waves, before love resqued me
E                        A           E
I was a fighter, I could turn on the threat
    E
Now I stand accused of things I've said
 Chorus 
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train 
     E  
When love comes to town
                     A      
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E
   Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E
But I did what I did before love came to town
E, A, E
 Verse 2 
E                           A          E   
Used to make love under the red sunset
E                                 A          E
I was making promises that I were soon to forget
E                               A       E
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
      E
But I left her standing before love came to town.
 Verse 3 
E                                    A         E
Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
E                                   A        E              
The notes were turning blue as days are a dream
E                                 A       E
As the music played I saw my life turn around
E       
That was the day before love came to town
  Chorus 
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train 
     E  
When love comes to town
                     A      
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E
   Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E
But I did what I did before love came to town
Then The Edge plays a solo followed by:
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train 
     E  
When love comes to town
                     A      
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E
   Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E
But I did what I did before love came to town
 Verse 4 
E                                  A    E
I was there when they crusified my lord
E                                             A     E
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
E                                    A    E
I threw the dice as they pierced his side
E                
  But I've seen love conquer the great divide
 Chorus 
A
Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train 
     E  
When love comes to town
                     A      
I'm gonna catch that flame 
E
   Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
      E
But I did what I did before love came to town
