Intro - A D/G x5
                                     A     D/G
That old dog has chained you up, all right
                                A           D/G
Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage
                            A        D/G
Sleep beside an empty rage

I had a dream I was your hero
D            A/C#
Damn, I wish I was your lover
     Bm
I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes
                    
Made sure you are smiling and warm
D                      F#m7
    I am everything, tonight, I'll be your mother
     Bm
I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind, and you won't feel ashamed
A      D/G
Oh...
A           D/G
 Open up coming inside

Gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry

A      D/G

                                   A             D/G
This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
                                         A              D/G
I give you something sweet each time you come inside my jungle book
                           A     D/G
What is it just too good?

Don't say you'll stay, 'cause then you go away

D            A/C#
Damn, I wish I was your lover

I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes
                    
Made sure you are smiling and warm
D                      F#m7
    I am everything, tonight, I'll be your mother
     Bm
I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind, and you won't feel ashamed
D           A/C#
Shucks, for me there is no other
Bm
You're the only shoe that fits

I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
D           F#m7
    Damn, I wish I was your lover (yeah)
A                G
   If I was your girl, believe me
D
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
         C                     D
We could groove along and feel much better
       G         D
Let me in  
                 C                 D    
I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever
A             D
   Give me an hour to kiss you
D
Walk through Heaven's door I'm sure
      C                     D
Don't need no doctor to feel much better
A                   D
    Let me in, oh
                  C                      D          C     D         C    A
(I wanna live) Forever and ever and ever and ever

A    D/G

                             A              D/G
I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
                              A            D/G
And I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
                                  A      D/G
Walked for days with no one near
                                     D
And I return as chained and bound to you


             A/C#
Damn, I wish I was your lover
     Bm
I'd rock you 'til the daylight comes
                    
Made sure you are smiling and warm
D                      F#m7
    I am everything, tonight, I'll be your mother
     Bm
I'll do such things to ease your pain

Free your mind, and you won't feel ashamed
D           A/C#
Shucks, for me there is no other
Bm
You're the only shoe that fits

I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
D           F#m7

I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry
D            A/C#
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Bm
Gettin' on a subway, and I'm comin' uptown
D       A/C#
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Bm
Standing on the street corner, waiting for my life to change
D            A/C#
Damn, I wish I was your lover
        Bm
And I'm feelin' like a school boy, too shy and too young, oh
D     F#m7
