Verse 1:

C#                 Bbm
I've never been closer
Ab                  F#
I've tried to understand
C#               Bbm
That certain feeling
Ab                  F#
Carved by another's hand
    C#               Bbm
But it's too late to hesitate
Ab                           F#
We can't keep on living like this


Pre-Chorus 1:

Bb C# Eb
         Leave no track

         Don't look back

Keep climbing higher and higher (Temptation)
F                   Ab  Bb
Adorable creatures (Temptation)

With unacceptable features (Temptation)

Trouble is coming (Temptation)
                           C       C    Eb
It's just the high cost of loving (Temptation)
F                            Ab  Bb
You can take it or leave it (Temptation)
                 C
But you'd better believe it

Chorus 4:

Trying to find it (Temptation)
You've got to get up behind it
Put your dime in the hot slot (Temptation)
But it's a million to one shot (Temptation)

Your gonna face it tonight now (Temptation)
Give me a breakdown
Because it's time for a shakedown
Temptation (x10)

Trying to find it

Put your dime in the hot slot
But it's a million to one shot
you think that you're right
Your gonna face it tonight now
Give me a breakdown
Because it's time for a shakedown
