I've got to Ahave it
Whatever Bblies out of reach of me

Dressed and painted with Emlies (but I just can't see)
When Bmtruth is concealed
How the danger Emappeals but my conscience sees
[Chorus]
I heard it from the Dpreacher man
He said Cleave that boy Galone (he's no good for you)

He said Cheaven must have sent you
But the Gdevil's gonna get you
He's gonna do it for A5you

[Intro]

N.C Bass only

Dm C Bb

[Verse 1]

It’s like a magic

I've got to have it

Whatever lies out of reach of me

And to despise it

Just magnifies it

Can't obliterate the need

Bad news disguised

Dressed and painted with lies (but I just can't see)

When truth is concealed

How the danger appeals but my conscience sees

[Chorus]

I heard it from the preacher man

C G

He said leave that boy alone (he's no good for you)

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you

He's gonna do it for you

[Verse 2]

You're like a black cat

Who always knows that

It's life is a mystery

You mesmerise me

And then you hypnotise me

Till obsession devours me

You're silky words soothe me as they move me

To ecstasy

And just as I'm falling

I hear a voice calling don't believe

[Chorus]

I heard it from the preacher man

C G

He said leave that boy alone (he's no good for you)

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you

Bb5

He's gonna do it for you

[Bridge]
