VERSE 1:
The
[C] strands in your eyes, that
[Fsus2] color them wonderful
[C] Stop me and steal my

[C] Never revealing their
[G/B] depth
[F/A]

And
[C] tell
[G/B] me that
[F/A] we belong to
[G/B] gether

[G/B] up, with the

[G/B] love
I'll
[C] be capti-
[G/B]-vated, I'll
[F/A] hang from your
[G/B] lips
In-

[F/A]-bove
[F/A] [G/B] [G/B]

[C] I'll be
[Fsus2] your cryin' shoulder
[C] I'll be love's
[G/B] suicide

[Fsus2] better when I'm older

And
[C] rain falls
[Fsus2] angry on the tin roof
As

[Fsus2] my living proof
My
[C] love is alive and not
[G/B] dead
