      Teddy Thompson - Brink Of Love



CAPO: 6th Fret



[Intro]
C  Dm7  C  Dm7  C  Dm7  C  Dm7

[Verse 1]
C         Dm7     C       Dm7
These are letters I don't write
C     Dm7       C           Dm7
Every evening I give up the fight
    C     Dm7    C     Dm7
And I see beauty every day
        C         Dm7   C             G
But the beauty of words won't come my way
    C       G    C        G       C         Dm7  C  Dm7
And I don't care what you think about love


[Verse 2]
C          Dm7      C          Dm7
I've heard stories, honest and true
C       Dm7         C         Dm7
Flowing rivers that lead into you
    C          Dm7           C        Dm7
And things get easy when you let them out
        C            Dm7              C        G
But you pack in your pain 'til you're ready to shout
    C       G    C        G
And I don't care what you think
C         G         C           G        C     Dm7  C
I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love


[Bridge]
           Dm   G   C     C7
And it's a long way down
                Dm   G  C7
You should have held my hand
            F               G
I liked you better when you lied
         F           G
You were more to the point
        F                G        C
And you looked me in the eye with love

[Verse 3]
C         Dm7     C       Dm7
These are letters I don't write
C     Dm7       C           Dm7
Every evening I give up the fight
    C     Dm7    C     Dm7
And I see beauty every day
        C         Dm7   C             G
But the beauty of words won't come my way
    C       G    C        G
And I don't care what you think
C         G         C           G        C     Dm7  C
I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love
    C       G    C        G
And I don't care what you think
C         G         C           G        C
I'll just sit here, here on the brink of love
