VERSE I:
They say that love often passes in a second, and
SOL(D) RE LA(D) RE
You can never catch it up, so I'm
SOL(D) RE LA(D)
Hanging on to you as though eternity beckoned, but it's
MIm7
Clear that the match is rough
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
LA7(sus4) LA7
After a piece of that diamond in you, So
LA7(sus4) LA7
Keep an eye open, My

Spirit ain't broken, Your

Love's so incredible, Your

Just like a sailor heading into the sea, There's a
SOL(D) RE LA(D) RE
Gale blowing in my face, The

High wind scares me but I need the breeze, And I
MIm7
Can't head for any other place
Life would seem so easy on the other tack, But
LA7(sus4) LA7
Even a hurricane won't turn me back, You
LA7(sus4) LA7
Might be an island, on the
SIm
Distant horizon, but the

Little I see looks like
SOL
Heaven to me, and I don't
LA7(sus4)
Care if the ocean gets rough,
LA7
'Cause just a little is enough.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:
[Repeat all chords from "They say that love often passes" . . . "match
is
rough"]
Common-sense will tell me not to try and continue, but I'm
LA7(sus4) LA7
After a piece of that diamond in you, So
LA7(sus4) LA7
Keep an eye open, My
SIm
Spirit ain't broken, Your
DO
Love's so incredible, Your
SOL
Body's so edible, You
LA7(sus4)
Give me an overdose of love,
LA7
But just a little is enough.
E(no 3rd) / / / | [repeat to fade]
*** This INSTRUMENTAL BREAK is dominated by the D MINOR chord
(or Eb minor, if playing a keyboard). Yet, the guitar is playing only
'power-chords' (ie, no 3rds). So, the guitar is not responsible for
the
tonal 'colour' here. Just slide from C to D (power-chords) across the
end/start of each bar.
This same process is happening throughout the 'E(no 3rd)' sections
towards
the end. If you like, slide from D to E (power-chords) in the same
way.
