= XX0333
Db+ = XX3221 (i have no idea what this chord is really called)
I would have waited all my life
Just to make love out of something other than spite
But the beauty is the beast you're baiting
Should really be worth the waiting
You do something ver - y special to
Mr. Average
Now the lamb lies with the lion
He's just a lit - tle savage
And so you turn your back on me
And all the hot air that only echoes stale tobacco
Actions speak louder now than words
(By just a fraction)
What's the use of saying I love you when I'm drinking to distraction
We save our sanity
By saying such and such
After all its been discussed
You say you must be touched
(chorus)
