Bm

Your precious love - that means so much

will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?

G F#

What I want to say - but my words just fail

Bm

Is that I need you so I can't help myself

Like a hungry child - I just help myself

G F# F#aug

And when I'm all full up - I got out to play

Bm

Aw! Huh!

Bm

Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning

Quiet as the sea on a good calm night

G F#

In your tranquil shadow - I try and follow

Bm

I hear your distant shoe clicks

To the midnight beat -

I feel trapped in sorrow

In this imagery

G F# F#aug

But that's how I am and why I need you so

Bm

Aw! Huh!

Bm

F#7 F#7aug

Em D

But I don't mean to bleed you dry

Gm/Bb D/A

Or take you over for the rest of your life

Bm A G F#

It's just that I need something solid in mine

Believe me baby!

Bm

You precious love - it means so much

Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?

G F#

What I want to say but my words just fail

Bm

I hear your distant shoe clicks

To the midnight beat

I'm feeling trapped in sorrow

In this imagery

G

But that's how I am

F# F#aug

And why I need you so

Bm

Aw! Huh!

Bm (instrumental)

Bm

If the sky fell from above

I said who's your precious love?

If the sky fell from above

I said who's your precious love?

If the sky fell from above

Buddy, who's your precious love?

Bm

Huh!
