[Intro]
C F C F C F C F ~ ~ C F C F
[Verse 1]
C
With your glass in my hand
Dm7 Am/D
And the firelight flickering in the embers
G
And a tune in my head
C Cadd9 C F ~ ~ C
Some words on my lips, unremembered
[Verse 2]
A vision of beauty
Dm7 Am/D
A picture of paradise bleeding
G
It's your warm tender touch
C Cadd9 C F ~
It's your lips, it's your looks that I'm needing
[Verse 3]
~ C
Well, I talk to myself
Dm7 Am/D
Write nonsensical words, without meaning
G
And the meter's all wrong
C Cadd9 C F ~
And the song's got a dangerous feeling
[Verse 4]
~ C
You're a doctor of love
Dm7 Am/D
And I'm in need of some inspired medication
G
So come to me now
C Cadd9 C
Let me benefit from your consultation
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
Oh, treat me kindly
E7 Am
My heart's been through World War Three
Dm7 G
Loving you blindly
C Cadd9 C F ~ ~ C F C F
That's where I wanna be
[Verse 5]
C
With each day you're awake
Dm7 Am/D
You're advised to take your stake to the limit
G
While the rich get richer
C Cadd9 C F ~
And the poor get poorer by the minute
[Verse 6]
~ C
Well, me I'm confused
Dm7 Am/D
I'm not used to these selfish persuasions
G
It's your warm tender touch
C Cadd9 C
It's your lips, it's your looks that I'm craving
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
Oh, treat me kindly
E7 Am
My heart's been through World War Three
Dm7 G
Loving you blindly
C Cadd9 C F ~ ~ C F C F
That's where I wanna be
[Verse 7]
C
And with each day that goes by
Dm7 Am/D
I find myself asking, why so much sadness
G
So much misery and pain
C Cadd9 C
Fingers pointed in blame, so much madness
[Verse 8]
With you by my side
Dm7 Am/D
My head's held up in pride, my heart's healing
G
It's your warm tender touch
C Cadd9 C
It's your lips, it's your looks that I'm feeling
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
Oh, treat me kindly
E7 Am
My heart's been through World War Three
Dm7 G
Loving you blindly
C Cadd9 C F ~ ~ C F C
That's where I wanna be
[Chorus]
Dm7 G
Oh, treat me kindly
E7 Am
My heart's been through World War Three
Dm7 G
Loving you blindly
C Cadd9 C F ~ ~ C F C F ~ ~ C
That's where I wanna be
