CAPO: 1st Fret
YOU MAY WISH TO DETUNE THE BOTTOM E STRING DOWN ONE TONE TO 'D'

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
Em7
Clear 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
Bm
Spirit ain't broken, Your
C
Love's so incredible, Your
G
Body's so edible, You
A7(sus4)
Give me an overdose of love,
A7
But just a little is enough.
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
Em7
More 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
Bm
Kiss feels like stealing, Your
C
Love is like heroin, This
G
Addict is mellowing,
A7(sus4)
I can't pretend that I'm tough,
A7
When just a little is enough.
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
Em7
Can'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
Bm
Distant horizon, but the
C
Little I see looks like
G
Heaven to me, and I don't
A7(sus4)
Care if the ocean gets rough,
A7
'Cause just a little is 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
Bm
Spirit ain't broken, Your
C
Love's so incredible, Your
G
Body's so edible, You
A7(sus4)
Give me an overdose of love,
A7
But just a little is enough.
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.
