Intro:  E  D  A  F#

              E (alternate between E & E/D )
Oh it's not easy to resist temptation
          E
Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination
D
Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation
        A                         F#m
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation

Chorus:
       E              Bb?      A E
Like a finger running down a seam
E                   Bb?   A  E
From a whisper to a scream
E    D
So I whisper and I scream
A         E   D    E    D  E
But don't get me wrong
D            A           B
Please don't leave me waitin' too long
    Bm
Waitin' too long
    F#m
Waitin' too long
    F
Waitin' too long
      E D E
Hey
   D     E     D  E
Oh oh oh oh oh
E     D   E (alternate between E & E/D )
Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying
          E
If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying
D
I heard someone say where have we met before
        A                                 F#m
But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four
