[INTRO]
[D] [D/B] [Asus4] [G/D]

[VERSE 1]
When the [D]earth was still flat
And the [Bm7]clouds made of fire
And [Asus4]mountains stretched up to the sky
[G/D]Sometimes higher
[G]Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
They had [D]two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
The had[D/F#] two faces peering out of [G]one giant head
So they could[Em] watch all around them
As they [A7]talked while they read
And they [G]never knew [A]nothing of [D]love
It was be[G]fore... [A]whoa... the origin of [D]love [G]
The origin of [D]love [G]

[VERSE 2]
And there were [Bm]three sexes then, one that looked
Like two men glued up back to [D]back, called the children of the [G]sun.
And simi[Bm]lar in shape and girth were the children of the earth.
They looked like.[D] .. two girls rolled up in [G]one.
And the ch[A]ildren of the moon
Were like a fork[Bm] shoved on a spoon.
They were part [C#m]sun, part earth, part [Bm]daughter, part [A]son.
[D]Mmmmm.[G] .. The origin of love [D] [G]

[REFRAIN]
Now the [D]gods grew quite scared
Of our [Bm7]strength and defiance
And Thor said[Asus4] , "I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer,
[G/D]Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No, you [G]better let me

Use my lightning like scissors,
Like I cut the [D]legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards."
Then he [D/F#]grabbed up some bolts
And he [G]let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them [Em]right down the middle.
Gonna cut 'em [A7]right up in half."
And then [G]storm clouds[A] gathered abo[D]ve
Into great balls of [G]fire

[BRIDGE]
And then fi[Bm]re shot down from the sky in [G]bolts

Like shining blades of a knife.
And it [Bm]ripped right through the flesh
Of the children of the [G]sun and the moon and the earth.
And some Indian [Bm]god sewed the wound up into a hole
Pulled it round to our belly to re[G]mind us of the price we pay.
And Os[Bm]iris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big [G]storm
To blow a hurri[Em]cane,
To scatter us a[Bm]way,
In a flood of wind and [G]rain,
And a sea of tidal [Em]waves,
To wash us all aw[Bm]ay,
And if we don't be[G]have
They'll cut us down ag[Em]ain
And we'll be ho[Ab]pping round on [G]one foot
[D]And looking through one [G]eye.

[VERSE 3]
[D]Last time I saw you
We had [Bm7]just split in two.
You were [G]looking at me.
I was lo[A]oking at you.
You had a [D]way so familiar,
But I [Bm7]could not recognize,
'Cause you had [G]blood on your face;
I had [A]blood in my eyes.
But I [D]swear by your expression
That the [Bm7]pain down in your soul
Was the [G]same as the one down in [A]mine.
That's the [D]pain,
Cuts a str[Bm7]aight line down through the he[G]art;
We call it [A]love.
We wrapped our [D]arms around each other,
Trying to shove our[Bm7]selves back together.
We were making lo[G]ve,
Making [A]love.
It was a [D]cold dark evening, such a long[Bm7] time ago,
When by the [G]mighty hand of [A]Jove,
It was a sad[D] story how we became l[Bm7]onely two-legged creatures,
That [G]story, the origin of [A]love.
That's the origin of l[D]ove. [G](Aw yeah!)
