C                                          G
It knocked me down, it dragged me out, it left me there for dead
 C                                            F
It took all the freedom I wanted and gave me something else instead
    C                                F
It blew my mind, it bled me dry, it hit me like a long goodbye
     Am                  G                        F
And nobody here knows better than I that it's a good thing
           A
Love is a good thing

[Chorus 1]
       Dm                 C
It'll fall like rain on your parade
  Bb
Laugh at the plans that you tried to make
        F                       C
It'll wear you down till your heart just breaks
             Bb
And it's a good thing
            F          Bb   F   Bb
Love is a good thing


[Verse 2]
        C                                            G
It'll wake you up in the middle of the night, it'll take just a little too much
        C                                  F
It'll burn you like a cinder till you're tender to the touch
         C                                           F
It'll chase you down, and swallow you whole, it'll make your blood run hot and cold
          Am                       G                            F
Like a thief in the night it'll steal your soul, and that's a good thing
            A
Love is a good thing


[Chorus 2]
                   Dm                       C
It'll follow you down to the ruin of your great divide
  Bb
Open the wounds that you tried to hide
      F                           C
And there in the rubble of the heart that died
               Bb
You'll find a good thing
                  F        Bb
Cause love is a good thing
               F          Bb
Oh love is a good thing


[Bridge]
  C           F
Ooo, take cover
  C           F
Ooo, the end is near
  C          F
Ooo, take cover
            C
But do not fear
        F
Do not fear


[Verse 3]
             C
Cause it'll break your will, it'll change your mind
  F
Loose all the chains of the ties that bind
           Am                          G                       F
If you're lucky you'll never make it out alive, and that's a good thing
           A
Love is a good thing


[Chorus 3]
        Dm                       C
It can hurt like a blast from a hand grenade
      Bb
When all that used to matter is blown away
  F                         C                         Bb
There in the middle of the mess it made you'll find a good thing
           F                         C                    Bb
Yes, it's worth every penny of the price you pay. It's a good thing

           F                       Bb
Love is a good thing --(Ooo, take cover,)
            F                            Bb
Love is a good thing --(Ooo, the end is near,)
              F                       Bb
Oh love is a good thing --(Ooo, take cover.)
         F
Do not fear
