intro:| E  Esus4 Esus2 |

VERSE 1:
     E              A                     E                   A
 well I feel like I have to feel something good all of the time

     E                                 A                  E
 with most of life I cannot deal but a good feeling I can feel even
          A
 though it may not be real
           E                 A                E                    A
 and if a person, place or thing will deliver I will quiver with delight
       E                        A         E            A
but will it last me for all my life or just one more lonely night

CHORUS:
      B        E         A    E   B                       E
 the lust the flesh the eye-eye-eyes and the pride of life
  (A)   B              A
drain the life right out of me

VERSE 2
  E              A                     E                   A
well I see something and i want  it bam!
right now no questions  asked
  E              A                     E                   A
don't worry about  how  much you costs me now or later
I want  it and I want it fast
  E              A                     E                   A
I'll go to any  lengths sacrifice
all that I already  have and all that I might get
  E              A                     E                   A
just to get something more I don't need
and Lord please don't ask me what for
CHORUS

 the lust the flesh the ey...ey...eyes and the pride of life
  (A)   B              A
drain the life right out of me

 VERSE 3:
  E              A                     E                   A
well i love when folks look right at me and what i'm doing or have done
  E              A                     E                   A
and lay it on about how groovy I am and that I'm looking grand
  E              A                     E                   A
and every single word makes me think I'll live forever, never knowing
  E              A                     E                   A
that they probably  won't  remember what they say tomorrow, tomorrow i could be dead

drain the life right out of me
