E                   E 
Love, you're gettin lazy 
E                    E 
You're forgetting to give me 
A               A            E              E 
Sweet sugar,    words that I want to hear 
              B            B 
You've been neglecting me 
         B               B                        E           E 
You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry 
              E 
And just like fruit from a fickle vine 
E                     
You turn sweet in the nick of time 
A                                     E
Love, you only come alive when you're losin me 
           B              
And it's a childish game 
            
I've got to shake you up, just to wake you up
            E 
To make you love me 
 
CHORUS:
             E         E         E                 E 
        I'll shake the sugar tree 'til I feel your love falling 
        A      B       E         E 
        All.......... around me 
                      B                  B     
        You've got to tend to what you planted 
                   B                 B 
        And if you take my love for granted 
                   E     B         A            A 
        Baby, I'll shake...... the sugar tree

E 
Another night and you're sleeping 

I'm awake and I'm dreaming 
A                                E
Oh honey,  'bout the way that it used to be  
         B
A little time's gone by 
        
Do you think that I'm con-tent 
                       
With the cookin and thepayin' of rent 
                           E
No, I wanna know if you're love's all spent  
 
(CHORUS AND BREAK) 
 
BRIDGE: 
        Bm \....                    F# \....   
             I've got to raise some       commotion 
        Bm \....                F# \....                  B \ \ \ \  B \ \ \ \ 
             Before you show me      some real emotion 
 
(CHORUS - REPEAT AND FADE) 
I like to play B7 instead of B in the verses.  I also like to play B7 in 

place of E in the last half bar of verses 2 and 3 (leading into chorus).
