[verse]:
G
you never had to wait for nothing in your life
Bm
i guess wanting you must have been a steel blue knife
G
and when night after night the scent of passion would linger
Bm
you had to have the jewels wrapped around your finger
C D
now you keep running down the road in your midnight state of mind
C D
curiosity kills if you can't read the signs
[chorus]
G
dancing with the ?wall made you bitter sweet
Bm
there ain't much you can do when they just lay it at your feet
G
but could you tell by the song I wanted to be the one
Bm
did you listen again when the damage was done
C D
now the paint's still wet in your do-it-by-number dream
C D
were you gonna tell me how it felt, will you tell me what it means
[chorus]
[bridge]:
C D Em
was it want with no desire
C D Em
was it smoke with no fire
C

D
