Em Em(7M) E7 A

D          D7M
 You may be sweet and nice
D7                        A?/B *
 But that won't keep you warm at night
Em                Em(7M)           E7                            
 Cause I'm the one who taught you how
                          A
 To do the things you're doing now

He may feel all your charms
He may hold you in his arms
But I'm the one who let you in
I was right beside you then

D D+ Bm D7

G             A?      
 Once upon a time 
             D              Bm
You let me feel you deep inside
       E7
Where nobody knew, nobody saw
Em                   A
Do you remember the way you cried

D            D7M
I'm your toy I'm your old boy
D7                  A?/B          Em
But I don't want no-one but you to love me
       A
Oh, I wouldn't lie
G                      A7      D
You know I'm not that kind of guy

*On the Adim/B chord, Bruce is playing a distinct B and all signs lead to
this being a B7, but Elvis sings a C note which makes it sound overall as
an A diminished chord.
