E E

Love, you're gettin lazy

E E

You're forgetting to give me

A A E E

Sweet sugar, words that I want to hear

B B

You've been neglecting me

B B E E

You know jealousy, it is bitter as a green spring berry

And just like [E]fruit from a [E]fickle vine

[E]You turn sweet in the [E]nick of time

[A]Love, you only [A]come alive when you're [E]losin me [E]

And it's a [B]childish game [B]

I've got to [B]shake you up, just to [B]wake you up

To make you [E]love me [E]

CHORUS: E E E E

I'll shake the sugar tree 'til I feel your love falling

A B E E

All.......... around me

B B

You've got to tend to what you planted

B B

And if you take my love for granted

E B A A

Baby, I'll shake...... the sugar tree

BREAK: |E |E |E |E

[E]Another night and you're [E]sleeping

[E]I'm awake and I'm [E]dreaming

[A]Oh honey, [A]'bout the way that it [E]used to be [E]

A little [B]time's gone by [B]

Do you [B]think that I'm con-[B]tent

With the cookin and the [B]payin' of rent

No, I [B]wanna know if you're [E]love's all spent [E]

[CHORUS AND BREAK]

BRIDGE: Bm\.... F#\....

I've got to raise some commotion

Bm\.... F#\.... B\ \ \ \ B\ \ \ \

Before you show me some real emotion

[CHORUS - REPEAT AND FADE]

I like to play B7 instead of B in the verses. I also like to play B7 in

place of E in the last half bar of verses 2 and 3 (leading into chorus).
