D7 Sweet as the smell of success,
G her body's warm and wet. Em
She D7gets me thru this God awful loneliness,
G a nat'ral high butterflyEm.
Oh, I, I need[C6 G], Amneed her. [D7 RIFF]
D7 Just like a willow tree,
G a breath of spring you see. Em
And, oh boyD7, you don't know what she do to me,
G she makes me sweat and forget who I Emam.
I C6need, Gneed, Amneed, GneedF7 her.
Well I was Cwond'ring how long[F E7] this could Amgo on, on and D7on.
Well I Gthought I could Emnever be surprisedD7sus4, D7
But could it Cbe that I[F E7] bit my Amown tongue. D7
GIt's so hard to Emswallow when you're wrong[D7sus4 D7]. [D7 RIFF]
D7 A bird of paradise,
G the sunrise in her eyes. Em
D7God only knows such a sweet surprise,
G I was blind, she blew my mindEm.
Think that I, I loveC6, Glove, Amlove, Glove, F7love her.
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her.
F7 Repeat and fade.
