 "How We Love" from the album Human Again By Ingrid Michaelson
 
 Verse 
 
 E                                  
 I knew a man who was afraid to love
 E                                   
 to lay his heart on the bathroom rug
 Cm                          A          
 he drank his coffee in the same old mug
 E                                          
 and sat in silence 'til the world fell numb
 E                                
 until the day when a girl came by
 E                                
 she had eyes like the rising tide
 Cm                   A         
 he felt a sharpness deep inside
 E                                       
 the kind of ache that can't be satisfied
 
 
 Chorus 
 
 A            B            Cm           A   
 we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
 B            Cm           A         E  
 but how we love when it washes our cars
 A           B            Cm           A  
 we love to love when it fills up the room
 B             Cm             A           E   
 but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
 
 
 Verse 
 
 E                        
 so he turned to the radio
 E                            
 and he went to a picture show
 Cm                     A            
 tried to find someone else who knows
 E                                 
 all the hurt that a heart can hold
 E                                         
 she smelled like cinnamon and winter clove
 E                                       
 and sparked like firewood inside a stove
 Cm                         A          
 wanted to ask her just to sit and stay
 E                                    
 instead he watched as she walked away
 
 Chorus 
 
 A            B            Cm            A  
 we hate the rain when it fills up our shoes
 B           Cm            A          E 
 but how we love when it washes our cars
 A            B           Cm           A  
 we love to love when it fills up the room
 B             Cm             A            E  
 but when it leaves oh we're cursing the stars
