LOVE MINUS ZERO/NO LIMIT - Bob Dylan
C
My love she speaks like silence,
G F C
Without ideals or violence,
G F C
She doesn't have to say she's faithful,
Dm F G
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire.
C
People carry roses,
G F C
And make promises by the hours,
G F C
My love she laughs like the flowers,
Dm G C
Valentines can't buy her.
C
In the dime stores and bus stations,
G F C
People talk of situations,
G F C
Read books, repeat quotations,
Dm F G
Draw conclusions on the wall.
C
Some speak of the future,
G F C
My love she speaks softly,
G F C
She knows there's no success like failure
Dm G C
And that failure's no success at all.

C
The cloak and dagger dangles,
G F C
Madams light the candles.
G F C
In ceremonies of the horsemen,
Dm F G
Even the pawn must hold a grudge.
C
Statues made of match sticks,
G F C
Crumble into one another,
G F C
My love winks, she does not bother,
Dm G C
She knows too much to argue or to judge.
C
The bridge at midnight trembles,
G F C
The country doctor rambles,
G F C
Bankers' nieces seek perfection,
Dm F G
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring.
C
The wind howls like a hammer,
G F C
The night blows cold and rainy,
G F C
My love she's like some raven
Dm G C
At my window with a broken wing.
