Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Found  a way
 To break away
 From the one
 You say that you love
 Now you cry  out your eyes
Day  and night  you set free
 The one that you love
 And it's true
 I don't remember  you
 But I'd believe  if you say that we met
 I get confused
 Nights I've been wondering
 I thought  I was already dead
 But man I loved
 Yeah I loved
 When I loved
 It was love
 It was love
 Or at least
 The closest I've come
 And the coffee,  the cream
 The blood  in my dreams
 Are the ones
 That you used to know
 And the gas  the plane
 The interstate
 Live the ones
 You don't have to know
 And I regret
 This sad and awful  truth
 But my mouth  it'll get away from me
You,  I just put up  with you,
 Kid, I stayed  cause you wouldn't leave
 Remember love?
 Oh, love
 When we loved
 It was love
 It was love
 Or at least,  as close as I've come
 And maybe  Joan was  running all alone
 And there  is a shortcut, home
 Putting a gun  to your brain
 Man, to take  all that you got
 And the truth,  that I was just scared  for you,
 But for me  that's the way that it comes
 You'd gotten used  to me and my awful  tongue
 But god,  didn't we have some fun?
 When we made love
 In the van
 And I drove  with your hand on my lap
 And when San Diego  got too unkind
 We just picked  up and left em behind
 And we had some love
 And some hope
 A full tank of gas  and a wide open road
 It was love
 To us
 It was all that we had
 And there's days
 You just break
 The best thing you have
 But I still call it love
 For now,  it's the closest I've come.
