D G/D
But held in the heart
D G/D G2/D D5 A Bm
It pales like the empty smile adorning
G A D D7sus-D7
A statue with silent signs.
Bridge:
GM7 Bm D
Moments fleet, taste (so) sweet within the rapture
Esus E A7sus A7
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
G Bm D
But mystery's a thing not easily captured
Em7 C9 A7sus A7
And once deceased, not easily exhumed.
D G/D
Now that we love
D G/D G2/D D5 A/D Bm
Now that the lonely nights are over
G A D C/D
How do we make love stay?

How do we make love stay?
