Lisa Mitchell- What Is Love
Album- Warriors
Lyrics taken from Warriors album booklet
Tuning- Half a step down (Eb)
[Verse 1] - Part 1
E F#m
I remember, when we met
E F#m
We were drinkin’ whiskey, neat
E F#m
And you looked too long at me
E F#m
But I didn’t turn away
[Verse 1] - Part 2
E F#m
I saw a stranger in your eyes
E F#m
In the cold fluorescent light
E F#m
And you’ve got those dingo eyes
E F#m
And I couldn’t turn away.
[Pre-chorus]
A F#m
Oh, I try, on the dance floor
C#m B
Yeah I try, to show you...
[Verse 2]
E F#m
Burn your candles bright
E F#m
There’s a darkness in this night
E F#m
And maybe I’m just tired
E F#m
Of walking alone
[Pre-chorus]
A F#m
So I try, up on this stage
C#m B
Yeah I try, to hold you...
E A
What is love? Without you?
C#m B
What is love? Without you?
[Verse 3] - Part 1
E F#m
Well, that silent river sings
E F#m
To me all her lonesome hymns
E F#m
And I take my seat against the bank
F#m E
Watching the stars, Jupiter and Mars..
[Verse 3] - Part 2
E F#m
And I didn’t mean to fall asleep
E F#m
But at the river time does not keep
E F#m
And I woke up in the front-row seat
E
The greatest show on Earth, for what it’s worth
F#m
An empty purse, is all you need
E F#m
A birth of bees, will I ever be, what you are to me, yeah
[Pre-chorus]
A F#m
Oh I try, in my prayers
C#m B
Oh I try, I try to hear you
[Chorus]
E A
What is love? Without you?
C#m B
What is love? Without you?
E A
Tell me, what is love? Without you?
C#m B
What is love?
[Alternate version of Verse 1] - Part 1
E F#m
And I remember, when we met
E F#m
I was drinkin’ whiskey, neat
E F#m
And you looked too long at me
E
And I haven’t turned away.
