____Intro:

 D  Em  D  Em  F  Em (Repeat)

____Verse: 1

 D                                G/D       D
 Well, you've got me dancing in a figure of eight
D                                       G/D      D
 don't know if I'm coming or going, I'm early or late.
 Asus4                 Bm
 Round and round the ring I go
Gadd9             Asus4   
 I want to know, I___want to know

____Verse: 2

     D                         G/D     D
 Hey, why can't we travel a continuous line?
        D                        G/D     D
 Make a love a reliable covenant all the time.
 Asus4            Bm
 Up and down the hills I go
Gadd9            Asus4 
 I got to know, I___got to know.

____Chorus:

       G         A/G
 Is it better to love one another
         F#m7                  G/B
 than to go for a walk in the dark?
       G          A/G                    F#m7  A/E  Dmaj9
 Is it better to love than to give into hate?
            G                 A/G
 Yeah, we'd better take good care___of each other,
  F#m7               Gmaj7/B
 avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow
      Em7                        A
 it's better by far than getting stuck in a figure of eight.

____Intro:

 D  Em  D  Em  F  Em (Repeat)

____Bridge:
 
       A          Asus4           Gadd9
 Well, figure it out___for yourse___lf little girl
                         D
 it don't go nowhere at all.
A                           Em7             A   Em7    A
 it's nothing more than a ta___pe loop in a big dance hall.

____Verse: 1 (with a background touch)

     D                            G/D       D
 Oh now, (you got me running in a figure of eight
D                                   
 don't know if I'm coming or going,
     G/D      D
 I'm early or late)      Asus          Bm   
              Early or late, round and round I go
Gadd9              Asus4   
 I want to know, I want to know

____Chorus: (with a background touch)

             G          A/G
 Say, (Is it better to love one another
         F#m7                  G/B
 than to go for a walk in the dark?
       G          A/G                    F#m7  A/E  Dmaj9
 Is it better to love than to give into hate?)
                                           Whoa__________
           G                 A/G           
 Yes, we'd better take good care of each other,
      F#m7                Gmaj7/B
 and avoid slipping back off the straight and narrow
      Em7                        A
 it's better by far than getting stuck in a figure of eight.
