(E) We have a (A) love that is (E) tarnished 

(E) I know that you have (B7) cheated, 
it's (E) true that you have (A) lied 
(A) You've answered calls from (E) strangers, 
(E) and pushed our love (B7) aside 
(E) But I'll ignore what I (B7) don't see, 
(E) sometimes it's best that (A) way 
(A) ignorance gives (E) tarnished love, (B7) another chance to (E) play (A) 
  
    (E) We have a (A) love that is (E) tarnished, 
    (E) it doesn't shine like it shone when it was (B7) new 
    (E) I know that (A) vows can be (E) broken, 
    (E) I'm sure of this 'cause I've made mistakes (B7) too 
    (E) Love is seldom (B7) perfect, it (A) often fades (E) away, 
    But, (A) darlin', our (E) tarnished love 
    grows (B7) stronger every (E) day 

repeat chorus 

But, (A) darlin', our (E) tarnished love grows (B7) stronger every (E) day 
(E) We have a (A) love that is (E) tarnished
