Tunnel Of Love chords
Dm C Dm Bb Dm C Dm Bb
Getting crazy on the Dmwaltzers, Fbut it's the life that I Cchoose
GSing about the sixblade sing about the switchback Dmand a torture tatoo
And I've been riding on a Fghost train
where the cars they Cscream and slam
And I don't know where I'll Gbe tonight but I'd Dmalways tell you where I am
In a screaming ring of Ffaces
I see her standing in the Clight
She had a ticket for the Graces just like me she was a Dmvictim of the night
I put my hand upon the Flever
said let it rock and let it Croll
I had the one arm Gbandit fever was an Dmarrow through my heart and my soul
And the big wheels keep on BbturningC  
neon Fburning, up aBbbove
And I am Fhigh on the world
come Con take a Dmlow ride with me Bbgirl.
On the Dmtunnel of loveC.Dm  Bb  
It's just the Dmdanger, Fwhen you're riding at Cyour own risk
She said you are the perfect Gstranger, she said Dmbaby let's keep it like this
It's just a Fcakewalk
twisting baby sCtep right up and say
GHey mister give me two give me two because Dmany two can play
And the big wheels keep on Bbturning,C  
neon Fburning, up aBbbove
And I am Fhigh on the world,
come Con take a Dmlow ride with me Bbgirl.
On the Dmtunnel of love.C  Dm  Bb  
Well it's been Gmmoney for muscle another Bbwhirligig
GmMoney for muscle, Bbanother girl I dig
GmAnother hustle, just to Bbmake it big,
and Crock away rock away
And Fgirl, it looks so pretty to me, Cjust like it Dmalways didBb  
CLike the Spanish city to me, Fwhen Bbwe were kids.C  
F   C   Dm   Bb   C   F   Bb   C(2x) Dm   C   Dm  Bb  
She took off a silver Dmlocket Fshe said remember me Cby this
She put her hand in my Gpocket,
I got a Dmkeepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of dust and Fdiesel,
I stood and watched her walk Caway
I could have caught up with her Geasy enough, but Dmsomething must have made me stay
And the big wheels keep on Bbturning,C  
neon Fburning, up aBbbove
And I am Fhigh on the world,
come Con take a Dmlow ride with me Bbgirl.
On the Dmtunnel of loveC.Dm  Bb  
On the Dmtunnel of loveC.Dm  Bb  
And now I'm Gmsearching through these carousels and the Bbcarnival arcades
GmSearching everywhere from steeplecBbhase and palisades
In Gmany shooting gallery where Bbpromises are made,
To Crock away rock away from cullercoats and whitley bay out to Crockaway
And Fgirl, it looks so pretty to me, Cjust like it aDmlways didBb  
CLike the Spanish city to me, Fwhen Bbwe were kids.C  
And Fgirl, it looks so pretty to me, Cjust like it Dmalways didBb  
CLike the Spanish city to me, Fwhen Bbwe were kids.C
