Verse 1:

C#5                 Bb5
I've never been closer
Ab5                  F#5
I've tried to understand
C#5               Bb5
That certain feeling
Ab5                  F#5
Carved by another's hand
    C#5               Bb5
But it's too late to hesitate
Ab5                           F#5
We can't keep on living like this


Pre-Chorus 1:

Bb5 C#5 Eb5
         Leave no track
Bb5 C#5 Eb5
         Don't look back


Chorus 1:

F5             Ab5  Bb5
All I desire (Temptation)
                         C5       C5   Eb5
Keep climbing higher and higher (Temptation)
F5                   Ab5  Bb5
Adorable creatures (Temptation)
                  C5         C5   Eb5
With unacceptable features (Temptation)
F5                  Ab5  Bb5
Trouble is coming (Temptation)
                           C5       C5    Eb5
It's just the high cost of loving (Temptation)
F5                            Ab5  Bb5
You can take it or leave it (Temptation)
                 C5
But you'd better believe it


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can't break away

Leave no trace
Hide your face

You can take it or leave it (Temptation)
But you'd better believe it


Verse 4:

You've got to make me an offer
That cannot be ignored
So let's head for home now
Everything I have is yours
Step by step and day by day
Every second counts I can't break away


Pre-Chorus 4:

Leave no trace
Hide your face


Chorus 4:

Trying to find it (Temptation)
You've got to get up behind it
Put your dime in the hot slot (Temptation)
But it's a million to one shot (Temptation)
you think that you're right (Temptation)
Your gonna face it tonight now (Temptation)
Give me a breakdown
Because it's time for a shakedown
Temptation (x10)

Trying to find it
You've got to get up behind it
Put your dime in the hot slot
But it's a million to one shot
you think that you're right
Your gonna face it tonight now
Give me a breakdown
Because it's time for a shakedown
