[Intro]
A E Bm E (x2)

[Monologue]
A E Bm E (x14 underneath monologue)

In Iowa, in the tall grass, there'€™s a couple

She'€™s very young and he's a young preacher

And every day they would go out

To the fields where nothing is planted

And lie in the tall grass

But one day he called her into the sanctuary

And he said

"€˜Kate, I'€™ve been touched by the Lord;

I don'€™t need you any more."

And she didn'€™t know what to think

But she loved the Lord

So she just leaned back in the pew

And thought about the tall grass and said

"€˜Reverend,"€™ she said, "€˜Reverend,"

"Reverend, the only reason I did it is to find out what it'€™s like."
A E Bm E

[Verse 1]
F#m A E
Oh, give me the truth to me
Bm E
And tell me of what I see
A F#m
A feeling there must be
Bm E
An answer for me
F#m A E
I feel like I ache all over
Bm E
Inside my heart is so, so
A E
Troubled I feel like I could die
F#m Bm E
Oh is this what love'€™s supposed to be?

[Chorus]
A E
But I, I'€™m not one to gamble
F#m
And I don'€™t need to scramble
F#m
I didn'€™t know that love would strike me
Bm E A
But this is what it'€™s like
Bm E A
This is what it'€™s like
