Elvis Costello & The Attractions – Temptation (Guitar)

E                                  A         B
Who's this kid with his mumbo jumbo

E                              A    B
Living in air-conditioned limbo

E                                      A       B
Though they treat him just like a guest

        E                         A     B
He's living under threat of arrest

B                            A          B              E
Now that he's finally trying to make some sense

        D         E           A
He drinks in self-defense

B                      E A E B
Give me temptation

E                             A       B
The subtle touch of authority will

E                            A        B
Take you anytime down to the station

E                   A         B
You say that it's alright by me

           E                    A             B
Now you're living with the curse of sophistication

B                         A                 B     E
Now that you're shackled up to the rigmarole

     D      E        A
With absolute control

A
I see you lying so wide awake

E                                                      B
After I've given you all that you can take

B
So for heaven's sake

F#                   E   A   E   B (2X)
Give me temptation

E                            A      B
Still you want to succeed so badly

E                              A      B
Finding your life will not be deadly

E                             A          B
You tell me you can take it or leave it

           E                   A           B
Sometimes I think that you really believe it

B                           A              B   E
You're just itching to break her secret laws

        D       E           A
As you go from claws to clause

A        E          B
Give me temptation
