[Intro]
A# F Na-na na na-na na-na na A# D Na-na na na-na na-na na
[Verse 1]
G D In dark saloons across the world Em B There’s horny boys and tired girls C D Their legs are crossed, his eyes are red G Em The smoky room, the sweaty bed C F Where dreams are laced with dollar bills E D Excitement reigns and sex can kill G Em In dimly lit, wan, dusty rooms C F And down below the old Jack croons E D On bedside plates where money folds G D And in the bar, each story’s told Em B With slur and slur, and drag by drag, C D The best handjob he’s ever had
[Chorus]
G Em G C Love is the theory, it’s not the fashion E F Am To wear your passion on a clear day Am G Em Take a look around you, anger is potent G C When it’s exposing E F Am Then you take notice this can’t be love C D C G A I get no dizzy spells from Beethoven or George Jones A# F Na-na na na-na na-na na A# D Na-na na na-na na-na na
[Verse 2]
G D In dark saloons across the world Em B I hear the cry of tired girls C D Who stand to make a meal tonight G Em The hungry kids who play outside C F In mucky streets by rusty cars E D That slowly park by crowded bars G Em And there she is with big, fat man C F The tattered rags on stubbly hands E D He drops his strides and babbles on G D His English base, his marbles gone Em B And so the work gets truly peachy C D Takes his money and his speech
[Chorus]
G Em G C Love is the theory, it’s not the fashion E F Am To wear your passion on a clear day Am G Em Take a look around you, anger is potent G C When it’s exposing E F Am Then you take notice this can’t be love C D C G Am I get no dizzy spells from Beethoven or George Jones
[Outro]
