Lovestruck    (video)

 

       Em

1. Staggering home,

                                                            D

    the headlights throw a shadow up and upon.

                                                        C

    friends and loved ones that have done no wrong,

                                        Em

    but no longer mean anything to me.

 

                   Em

2. Oh, am I mumbling on

                                              D

    into a crystal glass that echoes a song,

                                  C

    the enticement invites you along

                     Em

    a path of exterior colour.

 

G

    But come the morning, shivering and contorting,

          A

    to border on the brink, for just another sink,

           C                           G              D       - D7

    oh, take me down, for one more round.

               G

    Oh, involve me in libation, stick a rock in my foundation,

       A

    I pick all my relations, put me on probation,

         C                            G           D        - D7

    I'll take you down for one last round.

 

  A                                       A7                                   G

Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, given her my utmost,

                             F#

spilling out my deepest feelings.

 A                                        A7                                  G

Lovestruck, I've fallen for a lamppost, given her my utmost.

                             F#

spilling out my deepest feelings.

         F                 A          F                   A

Now all I want to do, is snuggle up to you,

     F                       G                     A

a night-cap in the early morning dew.

 

                Em

3. Look! what have I become ?

                                          D

    distancing myself so far and from,

                                                       C

    but gazing out, I waved the night boat on,

                                            Em

    for now it’s heaven in deepest Tottenham.

 

            Em

4. Oh, what have I done to deserve this fate ?

     D

    It's all going wrong,

                                          C

    even the cab fare has been and gone,

                                   Em

    now I'm lagging in deepest Tottenham.

 

G

    But come the morning, shivering and contorting,

          A

    to border on the brink, for just another sink,

           C                           G              D         - D7

    oh, take me down, for one more round.

Fight me, fight me, strike me down with lightning,

        F               A

I've given in to fighting.

         F                 A          F                    A

Now all I want to do is to get closer to you.
