 Em                G
Two weeks in a Virginia jail
 D              A
For my lover, for my lover.
 Em              G
Twenty thousand dollar bail
 D             A
For my lover, for my lover.---
 C
And everybody thinks
A(add9) (x02420)
I'm the fool.
 D
They don't get---any
 C
love from you.
 Em
Things we won't do for love---
 A(add9)
 Em
I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
 G
risk my life so I could have you---
 D
you- you- you- you...
Cmaj7 (x32000)
you- you -you -you -you.

Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
for my lover, for my lover.
Dope me up and I tell them lies
for my lover, for my lover.---
And everybody thinks... etc.

 Cmaj7
I follow my heart
 Em
and leave my head to ponder
 D
deep in this love--- no
 Cmaj7
man can shake.

I follow my heart
and leave my mind to wonder,
is this love worth- the sacri-
fices I make?
