Lyrics

We met on a rain y eve ning in the (Bm7)sum mer time. Don’t think I (A6)need to tell you more. I need ed a raise; I worked so hard for this love of mine, love of mine. Still I got (A6)noth ing to show for it. Here’s a sim pli fi ca tion of ev ’ry thing we’re (Bm7)go ing through. Ooh. (Amaj7)You plus (A6)me is bad news, but you’re a love ly cre a tion; I like to think that (Bm7)I am, too. Ooh. But my friends said I look bet ter with out you, yeah. I’m tongue (D)tied and twist ed. Go (D)on, ba by, and (D)go to my (E)head. (Amaj7)Babe (ba by), ba by, be lieve me. If I stay, it ain’t gon na be eas y. O kay, we’ll do it your way (ay, ay). But this is the last time you’ll hear the (F#m7)beau ti ful (E)sound of (A)love com ing (D69)down. Love on the rocks. You love the chase but hate me for the (Bm7)run a round. Mm.

Dulls my sens es, drives my pain, but I do it a gain. Burns a bit to the touch; dan ger ous if it’s too much. If (A)this bot tle could talk... Love on the rocks, Babe (ba by), ba by, be lieve me. Oh, woh. If I stay, it ain’t gon na be eas y. O O kay. kay. Ba Babe by, ba (ba by, ba by). by, ba by, you be (Dmaj7)lieve me. You’ll hear the (F#m7)beau ti ful (E)sound of (Amaj7)love com ing down.
