They had ^D two sets ...
They had t ^F#m wo ... ^G
So they could ^Em ....
^A As they talked; ...
And they n ^G ever knew no ^A thing of l ^D ove.
It was before ^{G A} the origin of love.
The origin of ^D love ^{G D G}
And there were t ^Bm hree ...
Glued up back to ba ^D ck,
Called the children of the ^G ...
And ^D similar in...
They looked like two girls ^D
Rolled up in one ^G .
And the c ^A hildren ...
Were like a f ^Bm ork...
They were p ^C#m art ...
Part daughter, part son. ^A
The ^D origin of love ^{G D G}

And it ripp ^Bm ed
And the e ^G arth.
And some In ^Bm dian god
To remin ^G d ...
And ^Bm Osiris ...
Gathered up a big ^G storm
To blow a hurri ^Em cane,
To scatter ^Bm us away,
In a flood of wind and ^G rain,
And a sea of tidal w ^Em aves,
To wash us all aw ^Bm ay,
And if we don't b ^G ehave
They'll cut us dow ^Em n again
And we'll be h ^Ab opping round on o ^G ne foot
^D And looking through one eye. ^G

We had ^Bm just...
You were ^G looking...
I was ^A looking...
You had a ^D way...
But I ^Bm could...
Cause you had b ^G lood...
I had bl ^A ood...
But I could s ^D wear...
That the pa ^Bm in...
Was the s ^G ame as the o ^A ne...
That's the ^D pain,
Cuts a s ^Bm traight line
Down through the he ^G art;
We called it lo ^A ve.
So we wrapped our ^D arms...
Trying to shove ourse ^Bm lves...
We were making ^G love,
^A Making love.
It was a ^D cold...
Such a lo ^Bm ng time ago,
When by the ^G mighty hand of J ^A ove,
It was the s ^D ad story
How we be ^Bm came
Lonely two-legged crea ^G tures,
It's the story of ^A
The origin of lo ^D ve. ^G
That's the origin of lo ^D ve. ^G
