Verse 1

Two weeks in a Vir -

ginia jail,

For my lover,

for my lover,

Twenty thousand

dollar bail,

For my lover,

for my lover---

---

Chorus

And everybody thinks

...I'm the fool,

They don't get...

any

love from you,

The things we won't do

for

love,

I'd climb a mountain if I had to,

Risk my life so I could have you--

---,

You, you, you, you!

You, you, you, you, you!

Verse 2

Everyday I'm psycho -

analysed,

For my lover,

for my lover,

They dope me up, and I

tell 'em lies,

For my lover,

for my lover---

----

Chorus

And everybody thinks

...I'm the fool,

They don't get...

any

love from you,

The things we won't do

for

love,

I'd climb a mountain if I had to,

Risk my life so I could have you--

---,

You, you, you, you!

You, you, you, you, you!

Bridge

I follow my heart,

And leave my head to ponder,

Deep in this love ...no

man can shake,

I follow my heart,

And leave my mind to wonder...

...Is this love worth...the sacri -

fices I make?

Verse 3

Two weeks in a Vir -

ginia jail,

For my lover,

for my lover,

Twenty thousand

dollar bail,

For my lover,

for my Lover,

Everyday I'm psycho -

analysed,

For my lover,

for my lover,

They dope me up, and I

tell them lies,

For my lover,

for my lover---

-----

Chorus

And everybody thinks

...I'm the fool,

They don't get...

any

love from you,

The things we won't do

for

love,

I'd climb a mountain if I had to,

Risk my life so I could have you--

---,

You, you, you, you!

You, you, you, you, you!

=====================================================

For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my

suggested choices you need to manually select the

following choice of options by clicking on the

forward/backward arrows below two of the diagrams

A7 Asus4

<3 of 39> <2 of 21>

All the other chord boxes can be the default first

option and don't need any reselecting

NOTE: There is more than one inversion of Cadd9

(differentiated by an asterisk in my document)

Currently there is no facility to save more

than one diagram per chord
