Intro: Main riff x2 without bass, x2 with bass
(bass only)
Hard to get, impossible to hold,
straight as an arrow, like a burning fuse
In a long cold dawn, by the side of the road,
a hopeless case, a perfect thing

Chorus:(still bass only!)
Love is (love is) what you want it to be
Love is (love is) heaven to the lonely
Show me what you want me to do,
(C)                 C5   B5   C5  A5            
'cos love is what I got for you
Main riff x2
(bass only)
I close my eyes, I search the stars, 
cry for help, I wake up cold
You're in my system, under my skin, 
raw emotion, please don't go

chorus (this time with main riff)
E5                                           (fill 1)
Can't live on promises, won't sleep with lies
C#5                                                              A5
Don't understand the things you say, till I read 'em in your eyes
E5                                      (fill 1)
Gotta run on instincts, gotta go by feel
C#5                     A5
Gotta trust my senses, know if it's for real

(Solo)(with main riff)
