[Verse 1]
Em                        G
     Two weeks in a Vir - ginia jail,

D             A
For my lover, for my lover,

Em                   G
     Twenty thousand dollar bail,

D             A              C
For my lover, for my lover------
[Chorus]
                    C Asus2               Asus2 D 
And everybody thinks     ...I'm the fool,

                 D   Cadd9         Cadd9 *  Cadd9
They don't get...any love from you,

Em                         Em  Asus2   A7 A Asus4 A
    The things we won't do for love,

Em
    I'd climb a mountain if I had to,

G                                     D
    Risk my life so I could have you-----,

D                        Cmaj7
    You, you, you, you!  You, you, you, you, you!
[Verse 2]
Em                         G
     Everyday I'm psycho - analysed,

D             A
For my lover, for my lover,

Em                         G
    They dope me up, and I tell 'em lies,

D             A              C
For my lover, for my lover-------
[Chorus]
                    C Asus2               Asus2 D

Cadd9
       I follow my heart,

Em
     And leave my head to ponder,

D                            Cmaj7
     Deep in this love ...no man can shake,

Cadd9
       I follow my heart,

Em
     And leave my mind to wonder...

D                                    Cmaj7
 ...Is this love worth...the sacri - fices I make?
