G(D) / D / | A(D) / D / | G(D) / D / | A(D) / 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.
