Great tune still played by the band live to this day
Written by Laurie Wisefield and Claire Hammill.  

Intro 00:00 - 00:20 all in A
then D and A before singing starts

Dmaj  
Why does love have to where does it go to
A
Outta my door
Dmaj   
How much have you got is it enough for me
A              
Or will I want more
A# Dmaj      A                         C 
Oh, oh, you tell me you just want some fun
A# Dmaj      A                               C            D  
Oh, oh, I'm trapped between the fire and the man with the gun
Dmaj                                  A
Time in a vacuum waiting for someone to say what they think
Dmaj                       
But all that pretending doesn't convince me 
A
'Cause they just want to buy me a drink
A# Dmaj  A                         C 
Oh, oh, you tell me you want to be free
A#   Dmaj        A                                    C        D
Oh,  oh, baby, I'm trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea

BREAKDOWN:  Dmaj F E C x 4

THEN FROM 01:52 - 02:50 GUITAR SOLO OVER:  Dmaj A# C

HOLD AN A from 02:51 - 03:05 then back to verse:

Dmaj
It's night in the city I'm filled with self pity
A
I'm taking the air
Dmaj
If somebody hits me here in this city
A
I swear I just don't care
A#  Dmaj   A               C
Oh,  oh, just looking for proof
A#  Dmaj   A                          C
Oh,  oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof
A#  Dmaj   A               C
Oh,  oh, just looking for proof
A#  Dmaj   A                          C
Oh,  oh, I'm trapped like a cat on a hot tin roof

FROM 03:52 TO END PLAY OUT
A# Dmaj 
I  got to have proof
A   C
I  got to have proof
