Verse 1:
  Em Em
There be times when my crimes
        C              D
will seem almost unfor-giveble
Em    Em
I give in to sin 
      C                      D
becourse you have to make this life liveble
      Em               Em
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love 
     C              D
I'll take more than another riverfull
        Em           D         Em
Yes and I'll make it all worth-while
C              D
I'll make your heart smile

Chorus:

Em    AmC

Em    Am      C
Strangelove that's how my love goes 
Em

Am         D
  will you give it to me

  will you take the pain 
Am       D
  I will give to you

Verse 2:

     Em
There'll be days
   Em
When I'll stray
      C
I may appear to be 
 D
Constantly out of reach
Em
I give in 
   Em
to sin
    C                       D
Because I like to practice what I preach
Em
I'm not trying to say
      Em
I'll have it all my way
    C
I'm always willing to learn
 D
When you've got something to teach
    Em  D         Em
And I'll make it all worth-while
CD
I'll make your heart smile


Em
Pain will you return it
Em  C     Am
  I'll say it again -- pain

Em    
Pain will you return it 
Em   C       Am
I won't say it again
