INTRO:
Dm  C  G  Dm  C  G

F G          D
I would have waited all my life
D                         G          A
Just to make love out of something other than spite
C       G        Gm         A
But the beauty is the beast you're baiting
Dm                G
Should really be worth the waiting

Em          A
You do something ver - y special to
Em      A
Mr. Average
Em                B
Now the lamb lies with the lion
F    A      Dm    C   G        Dm C G
Be's just a lit - tle savage
F   G      D            G A
And so you turn your back on me
D               F#m        Gm        C              G
And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco

F G           D
Actions speak louder now than words
(By just a fraction)
D                          G        A              C
What's the use of saying I love you when I'm drinking to distraction
            G      Gm
We save our sanity
   A           F
By saying such and such
          C#+
After all its been discussed
F           G
You say you must be touched

(chorus)
