Lyrics

Love is a drug and you are my (Csus2)cig a rette.

Love is ad dic tion, and you are my (Csus2)Nic o rette.

I want your love; don’t try and (Csus2)stop (C)me.

Can’t get e nough; still hang ing (Csus2)off me.

Your (C)guilt y heart, don’t let it break you.

And if you pray, well, no one’s gon na save you.

Like ev ’ry one that you fear and ev ’ry thing you hold dear, e ven the book in your pock et, you are the sun and the light; you are the free dom I fight.

God will do noth ing to stop it.

The or i gin is (C)you.

You’re the or i gin of (C)love.

Love is a drug and you are my (Csus2)cig a (G)rette.

Love is ad dic tion and you are my (C)Nic (G)o rette.

Love is a drug, like choc ’late, like (C)cig a rettes.

I’m feel ing sick; I’ve got to med i cate my self.

Well, if God is a priest and the dev il a slut, well, that’s a rea son for noth ing.

Like ev ’ry word that you preach, like ev ’ry word that you teach, with ev ’ry rule that you breach, you know the or i gin is (C)you.

From the air I breathe to the love I need, on ly thing I know, (You’re the or i gin of love.) From the God a bove to the one I love, (F)on (The or i gin is (C)you.

From the air I breathe to the love I lead, (F)on (You’re the or i gin of love.) From God a bove to the one I love, on ly thing that’s true: that the or i gin is (C)(Ma dre de us, de us ma (F6)chis mo.

(C)Ma dre de us, de us ma (F)chis mo.

(Dm7)Di o de ma dre de us ma (G)chis mo.

(Dm7)Ma dre de us san to spi ri (G)to.

Like stu pid A dam and Eve, (G7)they found their love in a tree, (Am7)God did n’t think they de served (F)it.

(Am7)He taught them hate, taught them (Fsus2)pride, gave them a leaf, made them hide.

(Dm7)Let’s push their sto ry a side.

(F)You know the or (G)i gin is (C6/9)you.

Some love’s a pill and some love is a can dy cane.

It tastes so sweet, but leaves you feel ing sick with pain.

Your love is air; I breathe it in a round me.

Don’t know it’s there, but with out it I’m (F6)drown (Dm7)ing.

(C)Love.
