Song

Opening guitar/bass is just notes on the D string (or E).
when my love stands next to your love, 
I can't compare love when it's not love 
It's not love; It's not love 
Which is my face, which is a building, 
(the chords start here)
which is on fire 
on fire 
So the whole song is just D for one measure and G for the next. It
changes at the instrumental with the horns before "I got two loves"
|: F C C G :|
Which is on fire
Then it instantly goes back to D and G until the final chord which is a
D. It sounds cool if, after the instrumental, you strum the D chord with
long strums while you strum the G chord with four staccato quarter note hits.
