Love Minus Zero - No Limit

C                             G  F
My love she speaks like silence
                  C         G  F
Without ideals or violence
                              C
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
          Dm         F         G7
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
C                   G  F
People carry roses
                     C      G  F
Make promises by the hours
                            C
My love she laughs like the flowers
     F     G7    C
Valentines can't buy her


       C                             G  F
In the dime stores and bus stations
                   C       G  F
People talk of situations
                      C
Read books, repeat quotations
        Dm       F      G7
Draw conclusions on the wall
C                         G  F
Some speak of the future
                   C       G  F
My love she speaks softly
                                  C
She knows there's no success like failure
         F            G7         C
And that failure's no success at all


    C                         G  F
The cloak and dagger dangles
                 C        G  F
Madams light the candles
                     C
In ceremonies of the horsemen
         Dm        F      G7
Even the pawn must hold a grudge
C                             G  F
Statues made of match sticks
                   C      G  F
Crumble into one another
                            C
My love winks, she does not bother
              F       G7          C
She knows too much to argue or to judge


    C                            G  F
The bridge at midnight trembles
                   C        G  F
The country doctor rambles
                        C
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
                  Dm         F        G7
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
C                             G  F
The wind howls like a hammer
                         C      G  F
The night blows cold and rainy
                        C
My love she's like some raven
      F             G7     C
At my window with a broken wing
