Originally in A, I play in D or D capo 1
The highest part is the “breathin’ room” after
the first chorus, it goes up to the 4.
When acoustic, I also play something for the main riff
that looks a little more like Bb5 Bb5/G Bb5 C5,
or Eb Eb Bb5 C5. Even just Bb5 Bb5 Bb5 C5 works.

Vox start this line on the same note as the last line,
and go a half-step up on “way”
F | C | A |

D | A | |

Vox in on the 1 of whatever chord is last in this phrase.
That’s C if you’re playing in D. Chords are just the intro
riff.
D#5 | F5 | A#5 | C5 |
Now there’s not even breathin’ room |
D#5 | F5 | A#5 | C5 |
Between pleasure and pain |

Solo over intro chords
Vox in on the 5 of the first chord
That’s a D# if you’re playing in D
G# | D# | |
‘Cause | what you got in | side |
G# | D# | |
Ain’t | where your love should | stay |
Vox down a whole step on “our”, then up a whole step to “ain’t”,
and up a half-step on “give”.
C# | G# | |
Yeah | , our love, sweet love | , ain’t love |
A | |
