Limits To Love Lyrics - Aimee Mann

Pre> 

***intro: 

Em d/f# g c 

Em d c g 

*** verse: 1 

Em d/f# g c 

We've known her ever since she was a kid 

Em d c g 

She was the kind of girl who repeats her mistakes 

Em d/f# g c 

Her parents never minded what she did 

Em d c g 

She was a fallen angel with dirt on her face 

Am g/b c d 

But past a certain point she stayed behind 

Am g/b c d 

The two of us could never read her mind 

Am g/b c d 

The million ways she had of killing time 

*** chorus: 

Em d c 

So we just gave up 

Em d c 

Yeah we just gave up 

Em d 

'cause sometimes, you know 

C g 

There's limits to love 

C g c g 

*** verse 2: 

We'd get impatient with her now and then em d/f# g c 

Oh, she'd smile and say, `now you're not being nice.' em d c g 

I guess her definition of a friend em d/f# g c 

Was someone long on love, and short on advice em d c g 

We gave her money but the money's bad am g/b c d 

She took the dollars and just tore them in half am g/b c d 

We got so angry, we just had to laugh am g/b c d 

*** chorus: 

But we still gave up em d c 

Yeah we still gave up em d c 

'cause sometimes, you know em d 

There's limits to love c g | c g | c g 

*** instrumental: 

** verse 3: 

She'll get in trouble but she will scrape through em d/f# g c 

Oh, she's the kind of girl who can always find help em d c g 

I'd say she's stupid, but it'd be untrue em d/f# g c 

Oh, you've got to be smart if you're fooling yourself em d c g 

We tried to love her, but our love unwound am g/b c d 

(so our love was weak) 

We talked about her when she wasn't around am g/b c d 

(so our talk was cheap) 

And still we felt that we were letting her down am g/b c d 

*** chorus: 

'cause we just gave up em d c 

Yeah we just gave up em d c 

'cause sometimes, you know em d 

There's limits to love c g 

Sometimes you know em d 

There's limits to love c g 

||: em d c g | c g c g :||
