[Intro] [fingerpicked clean electric les paul guitar. Single note bass. No drums.] [Verse 1] It's a picture in black and white, All the colour's gone. In the picture all is quiet, No words are born. It's a picture of a home, Domestic bliss turned forlorn. In the picture, by the door, No one sits there anymore. [Chorus] Love is gone, love is gone. Love is gone, [harmony vocal] love is gone. He paints no more, The things he saw. Love is gone, harmony vocal] love is gone. [Drums enter] [Heavily distorted growling guitar] [Verse 2] Under the clouds That darkens the sky, A nuclear family, The time is nigh. Huddled together, Sharing the night; Together but lonely, Try NOT to fight. [Vocal lift. high Soprano harmonies] Nothing but dreams, The nightmare's begun; Someone's mistake Has darkened the sun. A nuclear family, Blown apart. A nuclear family, Caught by his art. [Chorus] [high harmony vocal] [full band enters, high energy] Love is gone, [harmony vocal] love is gone. Love is gone. [harmony vocal] love is gone. (Whoa) He paints no more, The things he saw. Love is gone, love is gone, [Preverse] [Deep chugging guitar, heavy overdriven guitar chords. Heavy rock drumming] [Verse 3] [clean electric guitar enters. Heavy guitar contines. Female vocalised harmonies] Starts with a picture. Ends with tears. All drawn together, Sum of all fears. It's just a brushstroke, A simple caress. He arranges the lights As she gets undressed. Artistic passion, [written lyric overrides audio] And the oldest of arts; Caught in the moment, Tearing of hearts. Starts with a picture, Ends with tears. Wrong composition; I’m sorry, my dear. [Chorus] [full band] Love is gone, [harmony vocal] love is gone. love is gone, [harmony vocal] love is gone. (Whoa) He paints no more. The things he saw... Love is gone, love is gone. [Pause] [Bridge] [8 bars: Overdriven electric guitar enters on a repeated rhytmic chugged single chord. Single Drum beats accentuate] [8 bars: clean electric guitar picked chord enters] [4 bars: Strong drum hits, increase to crescendo] [Outro chorus] Love is gone, [harmony vocal] love is gone. love is gone, [harmony vocal] love is gone. Hey yeah, yeah He paints no more. The things he saw... Love is gone... [guitars sustain final chord and fades out] [Clean electric picking enters]... love is gone. [final slow picked chord, finishing on pinched harmonic]
