Intro:
G7 Db7 Abb5 (Ab flat 5) Ab
Ebmaj7
Verse:
(Ebmaj7) Cm7 Fm7
For every time I feel the touch of imagined kiss
Bb7 Bdim7 Cm7 Bb Ab
I now speak that love to your lips
Ab Gm7 Fm7
Ebmaj7 Cm7 Fm7
And all my sexual fantasies pulling me through stupid games, games, games
Bb7 Bdim7 Cm7 Bb Ab
I now push between your hips
Ab Gm7 Fm7
Chorus:
(Fm7) Gm7 Cm7
And all this time spent searching bodies to draw
Fm7 Gm7 Cm7 Bb
I look to you, skin stretched perfectly over the round of your jaw
Ab Bb
But when being so bitter as lust and liquor
Cm7 Bb
Our gatekeepers of adultery
Ab
Can you fault me
Db7
For my worry?
Abb5 Ab Ebmaj7
Verse:
So every time I see the face of a fairer man
I now rest my own in my hands
And all these twisted fantasies holding me in haunting gaze
Blinding me from our true romance
(Chorus)
Abb5 Ab
Outro:
Cm7 Gm7 Ab Ebmaj7
Ain’t got no reason to suspect foul play
But I’ll make one
No chance I’ll ever get this lucky again
Still I’ll take one, I’ll take one
Abb5
And I just take you for the kind
Though I could use some piece of mind
(Abb5) Ab
‘Cause it’s a big thing to call
Cm7
But I just need you is all
End.
