love you
this one was also a very minor US hit however huge in the Midwest it features the iconic line
"thank god for the man who put the white lines on the highway"
now this song is pretty simple the hardest part is the kind of double bass then chord
rhythm MS uses
so here we go another great song by MSB
Intro
E-A-B-E-A-B-E
EWell the glow from the bars and a thousand stars
ALight the cold Ohio nighBt
EAnd the turnpike's slick, tAhe snow's as thick as thievesB
ESince your call came through tAhere ain't nothing new
EBut the radio andA the headlights
EAnd the news at the top of the Ahour
BThat no one really believes,
Do they ...
C#mLover ... wAhat you want to go and do thBat for
C#mLover ... wAhy'd you want to tear it apaBrt, ooh
C#mLover ... yAou say you got your reasons, I need morBe
C#mLover ... oAoh, give me back my heart
BGive it back girEl
(THE VERSE AND THE CHORUS CONTINUE ON THE SAME WAY)
When the cold comes to stay it takes your breath away
And it makes the hours crawl
And it feels to me like I've been driving forever
Then your words return, the whole place burns
And I just don't know where to begin
Girl could you just make it anybody else
Anybody else but him
Could you ...
Lover ... what you want to go and do that for
Lover ... why'd you want to tear it apart, ooh
Lover ... you say you got your reasons, I need more
Lover ... ooh, give me back my heart
Bridge
BAnd somewhere ahead tonight
AWith fine wine and candlelight
EHe's gonna turn your head aBround
BGirl what you want me to C#mdo
EIf I leave this thing all up to you
AI'm gonna lose the best thing I've Efound
AI can see what's goBing down
Verse
So I talk to the night, I head for the light
Try to hold it on the road
Thank God for the man who put the white lines on the highway
Baby what you gonna do when the fire is through
And you find he's out looking for somebody new
Cause you did everything that he wanted you to do
And now you're all alone and crying
Aren't you ...
Chorus
Lover ... what you want to go and do that for
Lover ... why'd you want to tear it apart, ooh
Lover ... you say you got your reasons, I need more
Lover ... ooh, give me back my heart
Lover ... what you want to go and do that for
Lover ... tell me why'd you want to tear it apart, ooh
Lover ... you say you got your reasons, I need more
Lover ... you gotta give me back my heart, give it back girl
Lover
