Well I guess it would be [A] nice if I could touch your body
I know not every [D] body has got a body like [A] you
But I've got to think [A] twice before I give my heart away
And I know [D] all the games you play because
I play them [A] to
[Chorus - still just bass drum but straight - play chords mainly at start of each section]
Oh, but I [D] need some time off from [A] that emotion
[D] Time to pick my heart up off the [A] floor
Oh when that [D] love comes down with
(A to F#m7 is quicker)
[A] out [F#m7] votion
Well it [Bm] takes a strong man baby but I'm
[E] showing you the door

Cause I gotta have [A] faith, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, a-faith ah

[A] BABY, I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, [D] please don't go away

[A] MAYBE, you mean every word you say
Can't help but [D] think of yesterday
And another who [A] tied, me, down, to, lover boy rules
[Chorus - play chords mainly at start of each section]
Be [D] fore this river be [A] comes an ocean
Be [D] fore you throw my heart back on the [A] floor

[A] foolish [F#m7] notion
Well I [Bm] need someone to hold me but I'll
[E] wait for something more (stop)
Cause I gotta have [A] faith, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, a-faith ah
