Intro: C7 C C7 C
 
Bb
Walking home from work
F7
Stop at the supermarket
Bb
The condiment aisle
C7                                      F7
A jar of pickles catches the eye
                                                  F
Made eye contact with a solitary pickle -- ah!
                  C7
Bought the jar, took it home
 
 
Bb
Then made it up the stairs
F7
And made it through the doorway
Bb
And waded through the floor
C7                                                                 F
Tried to head in the general direction of the bathroom
The truest room In the whole damn
Bb
House
 
(Chorus)
F7
Sayin' love
C
Is the answer
F
To a question that I
C
have forgotten
         F7                   C
And I know I've been asked
          F7               C
So the answer has got to be
F
Love
Yeah
 
Bb
So feeding time with TV
F7
Then sleeping time, not sleepy
Bb
So reading time with pickle
      C7                                         F7
But where the bedside lamp had been
                           F               Bb
Is now emanating soft, soft green
 
Bb
Has it always been this way?
F7                                  Bb
Is it possible that all this magic went unnoticed?
           C7                             F7
Maybe now things'll start to change
                                        F
And life will turn a better page
               F
No more rage
 
(Chorus)
 
                 Bb
Tomorrow, back to work again
      F7
But run to the supermarket
              Bb
Running hopeful through the aisles
C7                                                F7
Haven't been this happy in a long time
                                      F
But not a single jar was smiling
        F
After all
 
        Bb
Man, pickle jars are just
F7
Pickle jars
       Bb
And pickles are just pickles
C7
Ingredients:
          F7
Water, salt, cucumbers
F              F             Bb
Garlic and pickling spices
 
      F7
But love
         C                 F
Is the answer to a question that I
C
Have forgotten
        F7                      C
And I know I've been asked
             F7
And the answer's got to be
F
Lo... love
          C               F
Is the answer to a question that I
C
Have forgotten
        F7                     C
And I know I've been asked
And the answer's got to be
Love
And the answer's got to be love
And the answer's got to be love
And the answer's got to be love
