    Am - Dm - Em (2x)         +  Da da da da da

 

                 Am

1. I would lock you up, but I could not bear

                           Dm                        Em

    to hear you screaming to be set free.

                   Am

    I would chain you up, if I’d thought you’d swear

          Dm                                     Em

    the only one that matters was me, me, me.

                   Am

    I would strap you up, but don’t worry baby,

             Dm                                               Em

    you know I wouldn’t hurt you ‘less you wanted me to.

                Am

    It’s too late to stop, won’t the heavens save me ?

           Dm                                      Em

    My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you.

 

        F                      G                        F                       G

You take me to the edge of heaven, tell me that my soul’s forgiven,

 F                          G                         - Am

hide your baby’s eyes and we can ...

  F                      G                        F                            G

Take me to the edge of heaven, one last time might be forever,

    F                        G                      F

when the passion dies, it’s just a matter of time,

                   Em                          Am

before my heart is looking for a home.

 

   Am                             - Dm - Em

+        Yeah yeah yeah….                 (2x)

 

                     Am 

2. I’m like a maniac, at the end of the day,

                     Dm                              Em

    I’m like a doggie barking at your door.

                     Am 

    So come, take me back to the place you stay,

            Dm                                   Em

    and maybe we can do it once more.

                          Am

    You say I’m dangerous, but don’t worry, baby,

Dm                              Em

    I get excited at the things that you do.

                           Am

    And there’s a place for us in a dirty movie,

               Dm                                     Em

    ’cause no one does it better than me and you.
