B5            D5
Slow dancing tight 
A5                  B5
My barren heart and I
B5                          D5
Your name used to taste so sweet 
A5                                 B5
Then you beat the love right out of me
B5                            D5
It's a mystery how people behave!
A5                            B5
How we long for a life as a slave
B5                              D5
When he kissed me I gladly gave in
A5                        B5
To a fight nobody could win

Man, he left me blue 

And if I could I would do it too

I tell you now like I told you before

Love is a powerful force

And it's a mystery how people behave!

How we long for a life as a slave

And tumble into any open arms

That will only ever do you harm


E5
Oh, you you it's always you
B5
The best kisser that I ever knew
E5
True love is cruel love
B5
Not much to be proud of
E5
Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
B5      F5     B5
All for a happy end


It's a mystery how people behave!
How we worry ourselves to the grave
When he kissed me I lost everything
Then I got up and did it again



Oh you you, it's always you, the hardest hitter that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend 
All for a happy end
