Standard (EADGBE)
This is no more than a story bout a man I used to know
No more than a story that youve heard ten times before
He saw what he wanted and attraction made him tell
She could never say no cos false guilt will lead to Hell
No matter what you say it dont mean nothing cos its healed
Loves only skin-deep you gotta touch to know its real
Time is not my enemy Im still the same next week
Love is just my energy dont even have to speak
(notice the G# at the end of the 2nd part of the verse!)
Lust dont last forever
You know that this aint right
Burning in the dark
Its not your hearts you set alight
If I could stop this somehow
Id be in there with my vice
But I guess Im just a lonely man
Better go think twice
She is so beautiful x4
(same chords as verse 1)
( etc, with on the end)
What started as a private life is no more than a show
Libidos in a Speedo as the good times start to go
Take me back through history so I can re-arrange
The details of your meeting its the only way Ill change
Wrestling with my angel all throughout the night
He couldnt defeat my will and so he told me I was right
Show me my subconscience as you know I gotta find
The balance of my spirits and the essence of my mind
Luck dont last forever
You know that this aint right
You do not deserve her
So why dyou hold her tight?
If I could stop this somehow
Id pray for good advice
But I guess Im just a lonely man
Better go think twice
She is so beautiful x4
You thought she was an angel
God chose her from above
And planted her right next to you
Its a mirage of love
But when she breaks a mirror
You can break up as good friends
Just dont tell your wife and kids
The cycle starts again
Just a mirage of love (x4)
Its a mirage of love (x4)
End on C#m
