(G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
Verse 1
When the (D major) earth was still flat
And the (B minor) clouds made of fire
And (A major) mountains stretched up to the sky (G major)
Sometimes higher
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs
They had (D major) two sets of arms
They had two sets of legs
They had (D major) two faces peering
Out of (G major) one giant head
So they could (E minor) watch all around them
As they (A major) talked while they read
And they nev (G major) er knew (A major) nothing of (D major) love
It was be (G major) fore, uh- huh (A major)

Chorus 1
The origin of love (D major) (Origin of (G major) love)
The origin of love (D major) (Origin of (G major) love)
Verse 2
Now there was (B minor) three sexes then
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back (D major)
They were called the children of the (G major) sun
And similar (B minor) in shape and girth
Was the children of the earth
They looked like (D major) two girls
Rolled up in (G major) one
And the child (A major) ren of the moon
Was like a fork (B major) shoved on a spoon
They was part (C sharp major) sun, part earth
Part (B major) daughter, part (A major) son
Chorus 2
(D major) Uhhh (G major) the origin of love (D major) (G major)
Verse 3
Now the (D major) Gods grew quite scared
Of our (B minor) strength and defiance
And Thor said: (A major) "I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer, (G major)
Like I killed the giants."
But Zeus said: "No,
You better let me
Use my lightning like scissors,
Like I cut the legs (D major) off the whales
Dinosaurs into lizards."
And then he (D major) grabbed up some bolts
He (G major) let out a laugh,
Said: "I'll split them (E minor) right down the middle
Gonna cut 'em (A major) right up in half"
And then storm (G major) clouds (A major) gathered a (D major) bove
Into great balls (G major) of fire (G major) (G major)
Bridge 1
And then fire (B minor) shot down
From the sky in bolts (G major)
Like shining blades of a knife
And it ripped (B minor)
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun (G major)
And the moon and the earth
And some Indian God (B minor)
Sewed the wound up into a hole
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind (G major) us
of the price we pay
And Osi (B minor) ris
and the Gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big (G major) storm
To blow a hurri (E major) cane
To scatter us a (B minor) way
A flood of wind and (G major) rain
A sea of tidal (E major) waves
To wash us all a (B minor) way
And if we don't be (G major) have
They'll cut us down a (E major) gain
And we'll be hopping 'round on (G major) one foot
(D major) And looking through one (G major) eye
Interlude 1
(D major) (A major) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (A major) (D major)
(E minor) (G major) (A major)
Verse 4
The (D major) last time I saw you
We had (B minor) just split in two
You was (G major) looking at me
I was (A major) looking at you
You had a (D major) way so familiar
But I (B minor) could not recognize
'Cause you had (G major) blood on your face
I had (A major) blood in my eyes
But I could (D major) swear by your expression
That the pain (B minor) down in your soul
Was the same (G major) as the one down in mine (A major)
That's the pain (D major)
That cuts a (B minor) straight line
down through the heart (G major)
We called it love (A major)
So we wrapped our arms (D major) 'round each other
Trying to shove our (B minor) selves back together
We was making (G major) love, making love (A major)
It was a (D major) cold dark evening
such a long (B minor) time ago
When by the (G major) mighty hand of Jove (A major)
It was the (D major) sad story
How we became
(B minor) lonely two-legged creatures
It's the (G major) story
of the origin of love (A major)
Chorus 3
That's the origin of love, (D major) oh (G major) yeah
The origin of love (D major) (G major)
The origin of love (D major) (uh-huh) (G major)
The origin of love (D major)
