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.

And we both just tired of the whole thing.

(Tired of the whole thing.)

Oh, and you tell me what you want, you need, you know you have to have.

And I just pre tend I’m lis t’ning.

I’m too (D)ti red this time

to deal with old suits you wear; your (D)ties that won’t (E)bind.

(A)love com ing (D69)down.

Hot as hell, cold as ice.

Sip it slow ’cause it’s so nice.

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 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.
