   E5                    G5           D5             A5
1.   Two weeks in a Virginia jail, for my lover, for my lover,
 E5                    G5            D5             A5         - C5
    twenty thousand dollar bail, for my lover, for my lo...ver.
                             - A5
    And everybody thinks           I'm the fool,  
D5                       C5
    they don't get any love from you !
 E5                            A5               
    Things they won't do for love.
E5 
    I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
G5                                   - D5
    risk my life so I could have y....ou,
                        C5
    you, you, you, you,    you, you, you, you, you !
   E5                      G5          D5             A5
2.   Every day I'm psychoanalyzed, for my lover, for my lover.
 E5                     G5               D5             A5         - C5
    dope me up and I tell them lies, for my lover, for my lo...ver. + REFRAIN  
C5                       -  E5
    I follow my heart       and leave my head to ponder,
D5                          C5
    deep in this love, no man can shake.
C5                      -  E5
    I follow my heart       and leave my mind to wonder,
D5                                C5
    is this love worth the sacrifices I make?


    E5                    G5           D5             A5

 E5                    G5            D5             A5             
    twenty thousand dollar bail, for my lover, for my lover.
 E5                     G5         D5             A5
    Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed for my lover, for my lover.
E5                    G5              D5             A5         - C5
    dope me up and I tell them lies for my lover, for my lo...ver. + REFRAIN    +
