Bell bottom blues, you made me cry

I don't want to lose this feeling

And if I could choose a place to die

C/G         F           G
It would be in your arms
[Chorus]
A                     E                      F#m7   D E
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

A                      E                  F#m7
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

It's all wrong, but it's all right

C/G              F             G F Fsus2 G
The way that you treat me baby

           C      E7         Am
Once I was strong I lost the fight

C/G              F           G
You won't find a better loser
[Chorus]
A                     E                      F#m7   D E
