I'm not sure that this is completely accurate but it sounds about right.

Verse 1:
Dm Am
Here we are
Dm Am
in the maelstrom of love
Dm Am
Waiting for the calm
Dm F
To sooth our hearts
Dm Am
Here we are
Dm Am
And don't know how to stop
Dm Am
Waiting for the war
Dm F
To end it all

Chorus:
G Am
Love is insane and baby
F C
We are too
G Am
It's our heart's little grave
F C
And the salt in our wounds
G Am
Love is insane and baby
F C
and so are we are too
G Am
It's our heart's little grave
F C
And the salt in our wounds

Verse 2:
(Same as verse 1)
Here we are
right back where we began
Waiting fo sweet love
with open arms.
Here we are
just like before
Waiting for the warmth
of that tender storm.

Chorus:
(As before)

Solo:
Chords as follows played on accustic guitar.
Dm, G, Am, G, Dm, G, Dm (Let last Dm ring out)

Chorus x2

Outro:
F C
And the salt in our wounds
G Am
the salt in our wounds

This song litteraly means love is like putting salt in your wounds. Doing this is extreamly painful! "Love is insane and Baby We are too It's our hearts little grave And the salt in our wounds" Love is crazy and unpredictable. Loves blinds us and makes us do foolish things and because of this sometimes we set ourselves up for heartache. Or things just go wrong. When this happens we are putting the salt in our wounds.

Ville Valo's explaining for this song in the book called "Synnin Viemää" (In English that "Synnin Viemää" means Gone with the sin) is pretty funny.. :)

man this song really reminds me of a past relationship, it was like we wanted to get into a fight just to get things out ,but at the same time ever so wanting to feel love for each other. yet another song on the duality of love

i got to know H.I.M. through a quirky guy in 01' summer. This type of music is so not what i listen to... they're so dark so painful, but i don't know why i started to like their music beacuse of this quirky guy. Come to think about it, i owe this guy an apology, cause i said something really bad to him...anywayz...and he'd probably never understand why.

"Here we are In the maelstrom of Love Waiting for the calm To soothe our hearts..." One of my all time favorite HIM lyrics. Not only does his voice sound like butter when he sings this part, but its so deliberately perfect. Ville is such a poet.

I love the vocalist of Him (sorry, don't know his name) but I love how deep his voice is. It's so peaceful to listen to. When I first heard this song (before I heard Him) I thought it was going to like bust out into hard core metal or something. lol. When it got to the chorus I was pleasantly surprised. This is a great song about love and it makes me really happy to listen to. :D
