[verse]:

G
you never had to wait for nothing in your life

Bm
i guess wanting you must have been a steel blue knife

G
and when night after night the scent of passion would linger

Bm
you had to have the jewels wrapped around your finger

C D
now you keep running down the road in your midnight state of mind

C D
curiosity kills if you can't read the signs


[chorus]

G
dancing with the ?wall made you bitter sweet

Bm
there ain't much you can do when they just lay it at your feet

G
but could you tell by the song I wanted to be the one

Bm
did you listen again when the damage was done

C D
now the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream

C D
were you gonna tell me how it felt, will you tell me what it means

[chorus]


[bridge]:

C D Em
was it want with no desire

C D Em
was it smoke with no fire

C

D
I'm sorry dear my ha-a-a-a-a-ands are ...
