.   E         .    A
I'm travelling by land

I'm wild about you, gal
    Bm7           E          A    F#m7  Bm7 E
You ought to be a fool about me
Can't explain
The sources of this hidden pain
You burned your way into my heart
You got the key to my brain

I've been trampling through mud
praying to the powers above
I'm sweating blood
You got a face that begs for love

  Life without you
  Doesn't mean a thing to me
  If I can't have you
  I'll throw my love into the deep blue sea

Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't treat me right
You do good all day
And then you do wrong all night
When you're with me
I'm a thousand times happier than I could ever say
What does it matter
What price I pay?

they brag about your sugar
Brag about it all over town
Put some sugar in my bowl
I feel like layin' down

  I'm as pale as a ghost
  Holding a blossom on a stem
  You ever seen a ghost?
  No, but you have heard of them

I see you there
I'm blinded by the colors I see
I take good care
of what belongs to me
A  E  A   E | D   A  D  E | A  .  .   .  | D   /c#  Bm7  E  |
                                                    I hear your . . .

I hear your name
ringing up and down the line
I'm saying it plain:
These ties are strong enough to bind

Your sweet voice
calls out from some old familiar shrine
I got no choice,
can't believe these things would ever fade from your mind

  I could live forever
  with you perfectly
  You don't ever
  have to make a fuss over me

From east to west
ever since the world began
I only mean it for the best
I won't be with you any way I can
A  E  A   E | D   A  D  E | A  .  .   .  | D   /c#  Bm7  E  |

I've been in a brawl
Now I'm feeling the wall
I'm going away, baby
I won't be back till fall

High on the hill
you can carry all my thoughts with you
You know my will
This love could tear me in two

  I won't be with you in paradise
  and it seems so unfair
  I can't go to paradise no more,
  I killed a man back there

You think I'm over the hill
Think I'm past my prime
Let me see what you got
We can have a whoppin' good time
