   Em                    G           D             A
1.   Two weeks in a Virginia jail, for my lover, for my lover,
 Em                    G            D             A         - C
    twenty thousand dollar bail, for my lover, for my lo...ver.
                             - A
    And everybody thinks           I'm the fool,  
D                       C
    they don't get any love from you !
 Em                            A               
    Things they won't do for love.
Em 
    I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
G                                   - D
    risk my life so I could have y....ou,
                        C
    you, you, you, you,    you, you, you, you, you !
   Em                      G          D             A
2.   Every day I'm psychoanalyzed, for my lover, for my lover.
 Em                     G               D             A         - C
    dope me up and I tell them lies, for my lover, for my lo...ver. + REFRAIN  
C                       -  Em
    I follow my heart       and leave my head to ponder,
D                          C
    deep in this love, no man can shake.
C                      -  Em
    I follow my heart       and leave my mind to wonder,
D                                C
    is this love worth the sacrifices I make?


    Em                    G           D             A
3.   Two weeks in a Virginia jail, for my lover, for my lover,
 Em                    G            D             A             
    twenty thousand dollar bail, for my lover, for my lover.
 Em                     G         D             A
    Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed for my lover, for my lover.
Em                    G              D             A         - C
    dope me up and I tell them lies for my lover, for my lo...ver. + REFRAIN    +
