beautiful song (track 3) which should have been a huge hit for some
mainstream crooner (Richard Marx???).

We Were Only Making Love (Shear)
--------------------------------
Intro: || A | E | F#m | D | F#m | D E | A | Asus4 A ||
Verse1: (A) D F#m
I had my doubts that I'd find someone
D F#m
Who looked like you, who'd be like me
D
And what feels wrong from the start
A E
Is so easily pulled apart
A Asus4 A
But still I wanted it to be
D F#m
I guess I wanted it far too much
D F#m
I overlooked the small details
D
But it's from these little things
A E
And the pleasures that they bring
A Asus4 A
That our hopes succeed or fail
Chorus: (A) D
We were only making love
A G D
We were only making love
E A D
Well I thought that we were really doing something
E A
But we were only making love
(Intro)
Verse2: (A) D F#m
And what feels so good at bedtime
D F#m
Doesn't always make it through the day
D
I've seen people just go on
A E
They got a world they built upon
A Asus4 A
And nothing left to say
D F#m
I guess I wanted it far too much
D F#m
I couldn't see it happening
D
The change that comes upon us slow
A E
And changes us before you know
A Asus4 A
Into a different same old thing
(Chorus)
(solo)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
|| A | D | F#m | D | F#m | D | Bm | E ||
Verse3: (E) D F#m
The heat of summer was ours to share
D F#m
Well you can hide but I can tell
D
That when we feel the fall
A E
And see the letters on the wall
A
These are the sad words that they'll spell
Chorus: (A) A(C#) D
We were only making love
A G D
We were only making love
E A D
Well I thought that we were really doing something
E A D
The passion rained down on us from above
E A D
It's strange that now this far from where it happened
F#m
It'd be easy to see
D E A
That we were only making love
(Intro)
