[Intro] G Bm C G Bm C  

[Verse 1] 
G                          Bm   C
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb 
G                              Bm 
The light would flicker like a violent C 
womb
G                            Bm 
The night was thicker than a smokey
C 
fume 
G     Em     B      C 
ELiza waited in the room 


[Verse 2] 
G                       B        C 
Benny loved her like he loved no one
G                              Bm 
The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking C 
gun 
G                         Bm 
The way she always said, "What's done
   C 
is done."
G   Em     B       C 
And he was not the only one 


[Chorus] 
G         B      C 
Love is a gentle thing 
G        C            Em       B 
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring 
G        C              Em     B 
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring 


[Verse 3] 
G                    B               A 
victim healer with a sharp sharp C blade G Bm C Benny knew how she was getting paid G Bm Her water broke and they would have to C wade G Em B C [Verse 4] G B C When he knew that she was fooling G Bm C He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said G Bm C We're outta money and we sold the bling G Em B C G And I just wanna take you home, I just Em B C wanna take you home [Chorus] G B C Love is a gentle thing G C Em B Yours is thicker than a velvet ring G C Em F Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
