Tuning:Standard
C#mIn the beginning, when life was simple
F#7We were at each other night and day
C#mYou were so sensual and so inventive
F#7We said we'd stick together come what may
C#mIn the beginning, you were so brutal
F#7You turned the heat on in the afternoon
C#mGet so excited, get so addicted
F#7You had me eating from your golden spoon
C#m F#7
A7Now I don't wanna spoil the party
C#mI know it goes B7against the F#7grain
F#7As the plane touched down I got movies of you
G#7Running through my fevered brain
C#mI really love my sweet thing, F#7I can't give her up
C#mI really love my sweet thing, F#7I can't give her up
C#mI really love my sweet thing, F#7I can't give her up
C#mIn the beginning, when we were winning
F#7I was your ever-present love-sick fool
C#mYou turned the heat off and left me standing
F#7Freezing by your swimming pool
C#mI can't give it up
F#7I can't give it up
C#mI can't give it up
F#7I can't give it up
A7Now I don't wanna spoil the party
C#mI know it goes B7against the F#7grain
F#7As the plane touched down, and the midnight moon
G#7Can't just walk away
Really love my C#msweet thing,
 wanna' lick it F#7up
Really love my C#msweet thing,
 wanna' lick it F#7up
