E F#m7
Making love to a picture frame
D
One more time tonight
E F#m7
You can tell by the lines in her smile
D
Something is not right
E F#m7
Where are you hiding
D
She's on the outside
E F#m7
I'm on the inside crying
D
Just another crazy boy
D
Hungry for your
Amaj7
Hot love
Amaj7 D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
D Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
D
Never need to go back to the way I was
D
The way I was
E F#m7
I tried and tried and tried and tried
D
But I have no concept of consequence
E F#m7
And I'm a master of self defence
D
Days get longer, life gets shorter
E F#m7
She rips me like no other
D
So oh dripping from head to to toe
E F#m7
Where are you hiding
D
She's on the outside
E F#m7
I'm on the inside crying
Amaj7
Hot love
Amaj7 D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
D Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
D
Never need to go back to the way I was
D
The way I was
Amaj7
Hot love
Amaj7 D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
D Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
D
Never need to go back to the way I was
D
The way I was
D
I can't make the same mistake
E
If you lose my love, it was yours to take
D
Break down your door, take a little more
E
When I need you around
D
And I'm so terrified of leaving
E
It's a new low, try and pick me up again but
D
Let go, see how far I get without you
E
Desperately need more of your
Amaj7
Hot love
Amaj7 D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
D Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
D
Never need to go back to the way I was
D
The way I was
Amaj7
Hot love
Amaj7 D
Wrap yourself around me like a warm glove
D Amaj7
The emptiness leaves me and I'm filled up
D
Never need to go back to the way I was
D
The way I was
