Am
tonight I feel so weak
 
but all in love is fair
 
I turn the other cheek
 
(stop)
And I feel the slap and the sting of the foul night air
 
D
and I know you're only human
 
Am
And I haven't got talking room
 
D
But tonight while I'm makinng excuses
 
Em (stop)
Some other woman is making love to you
 
(Chorus)
 
Am G D
Somebody bring me some water
 
Am G D
Can't you see I'm burning alive
 
Am G D
Can't you see my baby's got another lover
 
Em
I don't know how I'm gonna surive
 
Am G D
Somebody bring me some water
 
Am G D
Can't you see it's out of control
 
Am G D
Baby's got my heart baby's got my mind
 
Em
But tonight the sweet devil, sweet devil's got my soul
 
when will this aching pass
when will the night be through
I want to hear the breaking glass
I only feel the steel of the red hot truth
And I'd do anything to get it out of my mind
I need some insanity that temporary kind
tell me how will I ever be the same
when I know that woman is wispering you name
 
Chorus
 
Oh, devil's got my soul
 
Chorus
