VERSE I:
They say that love often passes in a second, and
G(D) D A(D) D
You can never catch it up, so I'm
G(D) D A(D)
Hanging on to you as though eternity beckoned, but it's
Em7Clear that the match is rough
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
A7(sus4) A7
After a piece of that diamond in you, So
A7(sus4) A7
Keep an eye open, My
BmSpirit ain't broken, Your
CLove's so incredible, Your
GBody's so edible, You
A7(sus4)
Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enA7ough.
G(D) D A(D) D G(D) D A(D)
VERSE II:
I'm like a connoseiur of champagne cognac, The
G(D) D A(D) D
Perfume nearly beats the taste
G(D) D A(D)
I eat an oyster and I feel the contact, But
Em7More than one would be a waste
Some people want an endless line, that's true, But
A7(sus4) A7
All I have to have's a little time with you, A
A7(sus4) A7
Smile sets me reeling, A
BmKiss feels like stealing, Your
CLove is like heroin, This
GAddict is mellowing,
A7(sus4)
I can't pretend that I'm tough,
When just a little is enoA7ugh.
G(D) D A(D) D G(D) D A(D) D
*** INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
Dm / / / C(no 3rd) | Dm [etc, repeated ad infinitum]
Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There's a
G(D) D A(D) D
Gale blowing in my face, The
G(D) D A(D)
High wind scares me but I need the breeze, And I
Em7Can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack, But
A7(sus4) A7
Even a hurricane won't turn me back, You
A7(sus4) A7
Might be an island, on the
BmDistant horizon, but the
CLittle I see looks like
GHeaven to me, and I don't
A7(sus4)
Care if the ocean gets rough,
'Cause just a little isA7 enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | x 4
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
[Repeat all chords from "They say that love often passes" . . . "match
is
rough"]
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
A7(sus4) A7
After a piece of that diamond in you, So
A7(sus4) A7
Keep an eye open, My
BmSpirit ain't broken, Your
CLove's so incredible, Your
GBody's so edible, You
A7(sus4)
Give me an overdose of love,
But just a little is enA7ough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | [repeat to fade]
*** This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord
(or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only
'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for
the
tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the
end/start of each bar.
This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections
towards
the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same
way.
