#Intro |G|AGD|

[A] If I didn't [G]love you I'd [D]hate you
[A] Watching you [G]play in the [D]bath
[A] A soap suds [G]stickle back [D]navy
[A] A scrubbing brush [G]landing [D]craft
[C] Your skin gets [G]softer and [G#min]warmer
[C] I pat you [G]down with a [G#min]towel
[F#min] Tonight it's [Emin]love by the [Amin]fire
[G] My mind goes [E]out on the prowl
[F#] If I - if I - if I - if I
[A] If I didn't [G]love you I'd [D]hate you
[A] I'm playing your [G]stereo[D]gram
[A] Singles re[G]mind me of [D]kisses
[A] Albums re[G]mind me of [D]plans
[C] Tonight it's [G]love by the [G#min]fire
[C] The wind plays [G]over the [G#min]coals
[F#min] Passionate [Emin]looks are my [Amin]fancy
[G] But you turn the [E]look into stone
[F#] If I - if I - if I - if I
[F#] If I didn't love you
[A] Would you [F]sit and glow
[D] by the fire
[A] If I [F]didn't love you
[D] Would you make me [A]feel [F]so
[D] Maybe love me
[A] [F] O[D]h...If I didn't love you
[A] [F] [F#] If I - if I - if I - if I
G (play verse without words)
[A] If I didn't [G]love you I'd [D]hate you
[A] Cocoa mugs [G]sit side [D]by side
[A] It's time to [G]poke at the [D]fire
[A] But it's not to[G]night, [D]looks I find
[C] Taking a [G]bite on a [G#min]biscuit
[C] The record [G]jumps on a [G#min]scratch
[F#min] Tonight it's [Emin]love by the [Amin]fire
[G] The door of your [E]love's on the latch
[F#] If I - if I - if I - if I
[F#] If I didn't love you
[A] Would you [F]sit and glow
[D] by the fire
[A] If I [F]didn't love you
[D] Would you make me [A]feel [F]so
[D] Maybe love me

[D] by the fire
[A] If I [F]didn't love you
[D] Would you make me [A]feel [F]so
[D] Maybe love me
[A] [F] O[D]h...If I didn't love you
[A] [F] [F#]
If I - if I - if I - Didn't - didn't - didn't - Love you - love
you - love you

A different interpretation
Words basically taken from what's above, with revised (and hopefully more
correct) chords.
Figured out by Geordan Rosario (geordan@csua.berkeley.edu) with some help from
Ben Scott (scotsman@csua.berkeley.edu). Ben rewound the CD relentlessly for
me.

----------
Footnote 1: If played on keyboard, the D must be played D-F#-A. Won't sound
right otherwise.
Footnote 2: That's right, no chord split F#. i.e., the bassist closes the
song with F#.
