A           E    F#m           C#m

There was a time when I was so broken-hearted;

D           A         E

Love wasn't much of a friend of mine.

A               E           F#m                  C#m

The tables have turned, yeah, 'cause me and them ways have parted;

D            A            E

That kind of love was the killin' kind.

G     D           G             D

All I want is someone I can't resist;

C           G                    E

I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed.

 

CHORUS:

      A             E                F#m          D

I was cryin' when I met you, now I'm tryin' to forget you.

A            E         D

Your love is sweet misery.

      A              E                C#m            D

I was cryin' just to get you, now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

A           E           D

Do what you do, down on me.

 

Now, there's not even breathin' room between pleasure and pain.

Yeah, you cry when we're makin' love; must be one and the same.

It's down on me, yeah, I got to tell you one thing;

It's been on my mind, girl, I gotta say;

We're partners in crime.  You got that certain something.

What you give to me takes my breath away.

Now, the word on the street is the devil's in your kiss.

If our love goes up in flames it's a fire I can't resist.

 

CHORUS:

 

       D#             A#         D#                     A#

'Cause what you got inside ain't where your love should stay.

    G#                    D#                    E

Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love 'til you give your heart away.

 

CHORUS:
