Em
So I got my boots on,
G
Got the right amount of leather
Bm
And I'm doing me up with a
D
black coloured liner
Em
And I'm working my strut but I
G
know it don't matter
Bm D
All we need in this world is some love
Em G
There's a thin line between the dark side,
Bm D
And the light side, baby tonight
Em G Bm D
It's a struggle gotta rumble, tryin'a find it
[Refrão]C
But If I Had You,
Em D Bm
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
C
Yeah if I had you,
Em D
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
C
If I had you,
Em D Bm
Life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy
C
Yeah, if I had you
Em D
You y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you
If I had you
From New York to LA getting high rock and rolling
Get a room trash it up 'til it's ten in the morning
Girls in stripper heels, boys rolling in Maserati's
What they need in this world is some love
There's a thin line between the wild time,
And a flat-line, baby tonight
It's a struggle gotta rumble, tryin'a find it
(Chorus)
But if I had you,
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you,
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you,
Life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy
Yeah, if I had you
You y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you
If I had--
D Em C
The flashing of the lights
D Em C
It might feel so good
D Em C
But I got you stuck on my mind, yeah
D Em C
The flashing and the stage, it might get me high
D Em C
But it don't mean a thing tonight
C Em D Bm
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
C
Yeah if I had you,
Em D
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you,
Life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
Yeah if I had you
You y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you
If I had you
That would be the only thing I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you,
Then money, fame and fortune never could compete
(Never could compete with you)
If I had you, life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy
(It'd be ecstasy with you)
Yeah if I had you
You y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you y-y-y-y-y-you
If I had you.
