Love Is Not a Thing

C 
(1st Verse)  If love was a stone I could toss it away. 
 
 
Never think twice, I'd be OK. 
 
 
If love was an arrow I could pull back my bow aim at the sky and let it go.

(Chorus)  But love is not a thing.  You don't take it off like a ring. 
        Bb        F          G  
Just because you said goodbye, that don't mean love has died. 
       Bb  F (STOP)       C 
It's alive, and doin' well in my heart. 
 
 
            C  
(2nd Verse)  If love was a book, I could just put it down. 
 
 
Don't need a romance novel around.

If love was a clock, I could let it unwind,  
 
 
Throw it out the window and watch time fly.

Just because you said goodbye.

It's alive,               and doin' well in my heart.  Ummm... 
 
 
Love is alive (And doin' well in my heart) 
 
 
Love is alive (And doin' well in my heart)  And doin' well in my heart.
