Intro |Dm  |  F |Am  |   |Dm   |  C |Am  |    |(bass plays A)

        Dm                          F       Am
T�ain�t no big thing to wait for the bell to ring
        Dm                          C       Am 
T�ain�t no big thing the         toll of the bell

Am                 Em                                                   G             
  Aggravated,        spare for days I troll downtown the red light place
  Jump up bubble up. What�s in store? Love is the drug and I need to score
  Showing out, showing out, hit and run. Boy meets girl where beat goes on

Am                 Dm                                                    F
   Stitched up tight, can�t shake free. Love is the drug, got a hook on me

Em                    C    G               A 
Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I�m thinking of
Oh, oh can�t you see? Love is the drug for me

C C G G

Am              Em                                   G
Late that night I park my car Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face,   toe to toe    Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up,      limbo down    The locked embrace, the stumble round

Am              Dm                                  F 
I say go, she say yes Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Em                     C    G                  A    
Oh, oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I�m thinking of
Oh, oh can�t you see? Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh, oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I�m thinking of
Oh, oh can�t you see? Love is the drug for me
 
C                     G               C               G
Oh...oh               Oh...oh         Oh...oh         Oh...oh

F          C         G               C (pluck notes)
Oh.....................oh

F         C          G              F    C    F    C  G    C6 
Oh.....................oh           Love is   Love is the Drug

(As above)
Reached the point of no return
The more I see the more I stand alone
I see the end of the line

Bb              C                   Bb                C
Were you ever lonely?                  Mystified and blue?
Db              C                   Bb                F  
Realizing only, your number�s up, you�re through

Done my share of winning

Now�s my turn to lose

After a fair beginning

The game�s up, I�m through

Think I�ll walk out in the storm

There no love to keep me warm inside

Hope it�s fine at the end of the line


Now�s the time to take a dive

Try a magic carpet ride

Everything is wrong

You�ve gone


If you ever miss me

If I should cross your mind

You know where to find me

I�ll be waiting at the end of the line

***************************
Sentimental Fool

Surely you cannot be leading me on?

Well if that's so, however can I love again?


How could I believe again?

How can I hold on?

Sentimental fool 

Knowing that fate is cruel,


You ought to forget it.

Yes, I know it's true,

I've seen what love can do,

But I don't regret it.


Oh, you silly thing

Don't you see what's happening?

You're better without it.

No, that's not the case


If you were in my place,

You never would doubt it.

Sentimental fool

Who broke the golden rule,

You couldn't resist it.

Though it's all in vain,

I'd do it all again

Just to relive a minute.


A woman in love

Can make you feel good

You know what you're living for.

She'll give you so much


And keep you in touch

With all that's worth living for.

Oh once she gets in

Through thick and through thin


She'll show you what living's for.

The rhythm of love

It must go on

Can't stop.

The beat of your heart

Is like a drum           Will it stop?

****************************

Whirlwind

May Day Cut down to size again

What then When less is more my friend

I'll change Let me start again

Disguise it's too weird to explain

Why I'll always call your name

Adieu, with you I could be anything

That I want to be whirlwind

Wildfire and driving rain

Wheels spin, bowl me over hurricane

Whirlwind, crack your cheeks and blow

Me Far, So far, How far is Shangrila from here

And is it this way?

There she blows, tear me down tornado 

Whirlpool, drag me to the deeps below

Whirlwind, will a wildcat strike be tame?

Earthquake, shake me to my feet again

It's crosswords go you near

A fatal clue I fear

This case is closed

Elementally, my dear.

Beware, whirlwind

**************************
She Sells

Now you're talking in headlines

Up to the minute and free

Stop press, hold the front page

Up as a mirror

Are you reading me?

Watch you walking in waltz time

A jigsaw puzzle in tune

Or are you faking a straight line

To suit yourself too soon

Rather nouveau than never

Contemporary ideal

Some natural kind of poet might slow it

But she sells more my speed

She sells country and modern

Ancient western song

Of oriental confusion

You so right, me so wrong

Now you're fixing to fly me

Auto-erotic, please,

On the break that you're gliding.

Your lingerie's a gift-wrap

Slip it to me

Nine till five

The daily grind

Made-up lies

Make up my mind

Same machine consuming you, consuming you

Oh why She sells I need

Oh why love why She sells I need

***************************
Could It Happen To Me

Do you know what it means to me?

To delight in your company

Could it happen to me?

Do you know what I�m certain of?

I would love to fall in love

Could it happen to me?

Hey won�t you look at me

Now I'm cracked wide open I can't conceal

My all over trembling, I'm acting strange

And while you're out of reach, I never change

God knows I'm beside myself

If a tear's a crime, then I must confess

My guilty secret, I'm not ashamed

Take me as I am, an average man

Oh boy is it getting rough

When my old world charm isn't quite enough

I'd throw you cantos, I'd jazz 'em up

When I lay me down, you don't pick up

What's more, it's a crying shame

Only this time no one but myself to blame

All I touch turns to dust

It's right there in my cards, I ought to cut

Let us sing of the tortured heart

And a lonely soul in this world apart

As he plays a fear, takes a little pain

And move our separate ways again

Is it easy to say 'I do'?

At this moment I love you

See beyond me, it's true

Now that evening is closing in

Should I light that fire again?

Could it happen to me?

Did it happen to you?

Both Ends Burning
(Tune the guitar down to D.
Then the G F Eb D7 progression is easier to play along with)

Intro G F Eb D7 (2 bars each)
G                                   F
   Please don't ever let me down     For you know I'm not so sure

Eb        Ab                D       F      D        F         D
    Do I have the speed to carry on        Burn you out of my mind, 

G                                   F
I know.  You're a flame that never fades. Jungle red�s a deadly sha..

Eb           Ab        D            F     D          F           D
.de Both ends burning, will the fires keep   Somewhere deep in my soul 

G                                   F
Tonight               Both ends burning, 

Eb                                  D7
burning,                           burn


Now my course is plain as day Running bold across to play
Both ends burning with a strange desire That feeds the fire in my soul 
tonight I will dance the night away Living only for today
Both ends burning while you're counting sheep Hell, who can sleep in this heat this night?

Tell me will I ever learn?
It's too late, the rush is on
Both ends burning and I can't control
The fires raging in my soul tonight
Oh will it never end?

Put your foot around the bend
Drive me crazy to an early grave
Tell me what is there to save tonight
Both ends burning, burning, burn
Keep on burning till the end, until the end
Keep on burning till the end, the very end.

*********************

Nightingale

Before the morning comes, will I hear your song

Come little nightingale, I won't be here for long

When you're up there flying, do you care

If there's no one else around?

When your lover leaves you in the air

Do you waver, do you fall?

Now while the moon is high

Shall we, nightingale,

Duet all through the night

A pair of souls for sale

Stars cluster glistening

Captive till the dawn

Patiently listening

They've heard it all before

Should I stay here or should I go?

I couldn't bear to be alone

Was it really love I saw?

Oh, now I'll never know

What is this I hear?

I recognise that song

Sweet little nightingale I knew you'd come along

Soon when the morning comes.

We will both be gone

So sing pretty nightingale

Lead, I'll follow on

Eb                 Ab              F            Bb

Bb                 Db             Ab              Eb            
   Couldn�t believe in my eyes. You drifted into my life
   But marriages made in heaven. Can they survive in this life?
   Surely it came as no surprise Love was too hot to handle
   Well I really blew my cool and you You just blew out the candle

   Lately it seems so empty here      But I suppose I�m alright
   Maybe tomorrow�s not so clear Still I remember that night
   Singing to you like this is My only way to reach you
   Though I�m too proud to say it Oh how I long too see you

F                  Bb                G            C
   Shattered by dreams, by your goodbye
   As shattered my goodbye, as filled the sky  Desolate am I
   Just another crazy guy
   Playing at love was another high.      Such a crazy high


Bb            C           F          F
Maybe I should start anew
And maybe I should find someone who
Will maybe love me like I love you
Maybe I�m too stuck on you
Maybe I got stuck on you
