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.

| G | D | A |
| That kind of | love was the | killin’ kind, listen |
| C | G | C | G |
| All I | want is some | one I can’t re | sist |
Vox start this line on the same note as the last line,
and go a half-step up on “way”
| F | C | A |
| I know all I | need to know by the | way that I got kissed |
| D | A | |

| Bm | G | |
| Now I’m | tryin’ to for | get you |
| D | A | G |

| F#m | G | |
| Now I’m | dyin’ ‘cause I | let you |
| D | A | G |

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 |
| D#5 | F5 | A#5 | C5 |
| Yea you cry when we’re makin’ love |
| D#5 | F5 | A#5 | C5 | D#5 |
| Must be one and the | same |

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 | |
| Yill ya | give your heart away |
