                          D  
When the earth was still flat
                        D/B  
And the clouds made of fire
                  A9  
And mountains stretched up to the sky
G  
  Sometimes higher
G  
  Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs
                          D  
They had two sets of arms, they had two sets of legs
                          F#m  
They had two faces peering out of one giant head
                                  Em  
So they could watch all around them
A  
As they talked while they read
                             G                         A                      D  
And they never knew nothing of love
                                  G      A                                         D            G  
It was before            the origin of love
                                          D         G  
The origin of love
                                                Bm  
And there were three sexes then, one of them looked like two men glued up back to back
                                                                          G  
Called the children of the sun
                D  
And similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth
                                                D                                                         G  
They looked like two girls rolled up in one
                          A  
And the children of the moon
                                  Bm  
Were like a fork stuck on a spoon
                                C#m  
They were part sun part earth
                                                          A  
Part daughter part son
             D                            G              D         G  
The origin of love
                        D  
Now the gods grew quite scared
                     D/B  
Of our strength and defiance
                                G  
And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammer
             G  
Like I killed the giants."
  G  
And Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me
                     D  
Use my lightning like scissors
                                          D  
Like I cut the legs off the whales, dinosaurs and the lizards
                        F#m  
Then he grabbed up some bolts
                     G  
And he let out a laugh
                                                                Em  
Said, "I'll split them right dowm the middle
                                        A  
Gonna cut 'em right up in half."
                        G                         A                              D  
And the storm clouds gathered above
                                                          G  
Into great balls of fire
                             Bm  
And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts
                                                                        G  
Like shining blades of a knife
                          Bm  
And it ripped right through the flesh
                                                                                                                                G  
Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth
                                        Bm  
And some indian god sewed the wound up to a hole
                                                                                                G  
Pulled it around to our belly to remind us the price we paid
                Bm  
And Osiris and the gods of the nile
                                                  G  
Gathered up a big storm
                                        Em  
To blow a hurricane
                                        Bm  
To scatter us away
                                                             G  
In a flood of wind and rain
                                                     Em  
And a sea of tidal waves
                                          Bm  
To wash us all away
                                                G  
And if we don't behave
                                                        Em  
They'll cut us down again
                                     Ab                                                         G  
And we'll be hopping 'round on one foot
D                                                                    G  
and looking through one eye
D  
Last time I saw you
                Bm  
We'd just split in two
                          G  
You were looking at me
                  A  
I was looking at you
                                        D  
And you had a way so familiar
        Bm  
I could not recognize
                                  G  
Cuz you had blood on your face
                  A  
I had blood in my eyes
                  D  
But I swear by your expression
                          Bm  
That the pain down in your soul
                        G                                                            A  
Was the same as the one down in mine
                                D  
That's the pain
                                  Bm                                                                            G  
That cuts a straight line down through the heart
                                A  
We call it love
                                          D  
We wrapped our arms 'round each other
                                          Bm  
Tried to shove ourselves back together
                                          G                                    A  
We were making love      making love
                          D                                                              Bm  
It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago
                                  G                                    A  
When by the mighty hand of Jove
                          D                                                            Bm  
It was a sad story how we became lonely two-legged creatures
             G                                                            A  
The story of the origin of love
                                                          D            G         D         G         D  
That's the origin of love
