VERSE 1:
--------
NB to make the chord shapes at the 10th and 12th frets
easier to write, I'll use:
A = 10
B = 11
C = 12
AAAAAA ACABAA
We got a break, unbelievable
AAAAAA ACABAA AAAAAA
We got a break, right in the middle of this
555555 575655
Hollywood heartache
555555
We got this solid love
xx0000 222100 444300 555555 575655
All around the town good hearts are going under
555555 575655
Love bandits con and plunder
555555 777777 CCCCCC 777777
Let nobody put asunder this solid love
VERSE 2:
--------
(Same chords as verse 1, except last line)
We got a chance, hot dog darlin'
We got a chance
No more, no more fly-by-night romance
We got this solid love
Love has always made me feel so uneasy
I couldn't relax and just be me
575655 555555 777777 CCCCCC
More like some strange disease than this solid love
MIDDLE 8:
---------
ACABAA AAAAAA
Tested and blessed, darlin'
333333 555555
I'm gonna give you my very best
ACABAA AAAAAA 888888
You're my hope you're my happiness
242322
You open my heart you do
242322 222222
You open my heart, you do, yes you do
(For the last two lines, on the 242322 chord, alternate
strums on the low and high strings - e.g play 2423xx
then xxx322)
The two verses and the middle 8 are repeated - same chords as
before, except where indicated (lyrics are also slightly
different).
VERSE 1 (repeat):

VERSE 2 (repeat):
-----------------
We got a chance, hot dog darlin'
