          D 
When the earth was still flat 
         D/B 
And the clouds made of fire 
       Aadd9 
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                          G 
And Thor said, "I'm gonna kill 'em all with my hammer 
     G            G 
Like I killed the giants." 
 G 
And Zeus said, "No, you'd better let me 
        D 
Use my lightning like scissors 
                D                                      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    G... 
That's the origin of love
