Transcription by:    Rainer Boettchers 
                     Paderborn/Germany, July 1996

Tuning:              EADGBE (Standard)

Comments:            Again a .CRD file, again a simple transcription
                     (... beg your pardon, Greg ...). Again I have tried
                     to preserve the timing for the chord changes.
                     Chords used here:    Emaj       022100
                                          E5      022200
                                          B5       224442
                                          E5       022000
                                          F#min      244222
                                          G5       320003
                                          A5       x02220
                                          B5       x24432
                     Other chords shapes may be used instead. Listen to 
                     the original song to find the bits and pieces.
                     And a 12string guitar is the best guitar for this song.

*** Intro:

E5  E5  E5  E5

*** Main theme:

    E5
She looked at me across the room

 E5
Emerging from a silk cocoon

 E5                        E5
Alone beneath Venetian chandeliers

 E5                      
Against the moon her body rocks

    E5
Her eyes were cunning like a fox

    E5                            E5
The wings of passion fly on all frontiers

*** Refrain:

B5                        E5
>From this fire there's no returning

A5
No escape your heart is burning

B5                  E5
Love becomes a lethal weapon

A5
No one is too smart

                  E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart ...

                  E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart

*** Main theme:

E5
Now upon the bridge she waits

E5
Dreaming of our tangled fates

    E5                               E5
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade

    E5
(I) fell just like a falling star

  E5
A victim of this coup d'etat

  E5                            E5
I could not see behind this masquerade

*** Refrain:

B5                        E5
>From this fire there's no returning 

A5
No escape your heart is burning

B5                  E5
Love becomes a lethal weapon

     A5
(Be) careful where you start

                  E5 ... E5 
In affairs of the heart ...

                  E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart ...

                  E5 ... F#min ... G5
In affairs of the heart

            A5             E5 ... F#min ... G5
Sometimes I think I'll never learn

               A5          E5 ... F#min ... G5 
Were all those promises in vain

                A5       B5  ... A5
Do the wings of fire still remain

... E5 ... E5 ... E5 ... E5

*** Main theme:

E5
All is fair in love and war

    E5
The tender draw the shortest straw

     E5                             E5
Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air

   E5
Is this the time we say goodbye

  E5
I call her room there's no reply

  E5                            E5
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair

*** Refrain:

B5                        E5
>From this fire there's no returning

A5
No escape your heart is burning

B5                  E5
Love becomes a lethal weapon

A5
Sharper than a dart

                  E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart ...

                  E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart

              E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart ...

... E5 ... E5

              E5 ... E5
In affairs of the heart ...

(fade out) ... E5 ... E5 ... E5 ... E4.
