Lover Dearest


NOTES: **D/F# is optional, a regular D chord will work fine. I just like the way D/F# sounds. VERSE 1: Em7 Cadd9 G This place is a hole, and I don't want to go. (G) D/F# I wish we could stay here forever alone. Em7 Cadd9 G This time that we waste, but I still love your taste. (G) D/F# Cadd9 Don't let him take my place, don't just sit there. CHORUS 1: Em7 Cadd9 Sometimes I wish you would leave me. (Cadd9) G D/F# Well I'm not sick of you yet, is that as good as it gets, Em7 Cadd9 G I'll just say it, or I could slip into you, (G) D/F# It's so easy to come back into you. Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F# VERSE 2: Em7 Cadd9 G I stand for awhile, and waited for words, (G) D/F# Seen but not heard and struggled to try. Em7 Cadd9 G My tongue's turning black, but I'll take you back. (G) D/F# Em7 You're still the best more or less, I guess. Cadd9 I guess. CHORUS 2: Em7 Cadd9 Don't you leave me, G D/F# Well I'm not sick of you yet, Is that as good as it gets, Em7 Cadd9 G I'll just say it, or I could slip into you, D/F# Cadd9 It's so easy to come back into you. BRIDGE: D/F# Em7 It hurts me to say that it hurts me to stay. Cadd9 Em7 G And it might be alright if you go. (G) D/F# Em7 It hurts me to say that I want you to stay, Cadd9 Em7 G Cadd9 But it might be alright if you go. CHORUS 3: Em7 Cadd9 So leave me, (Cadd9) G D/F# Well I'm not sick of you yet, Is that as good as it gets, Em7 Cadd9 G I'll just hide it, or I could slip into you, D/F# Em7 It's so easy to come Cadd9 G D/F# back into you. Em7, Cadd9, G, D/F# OUTRO: (D/F#) Em7 Sometimes I think that the bitter in you, Cadd9 And the quitter in me, G D/F# Is the bitter in you and the quitter in me. Em7 Cadd9 The bitter in you, and the quitter in me, G D/F# Is the bitter in you and the quitter in me. Em7 Cadd9 G The bitter in you, and the quitter in me, D/F# Cadd9 G (let ring) Is beeeeeeeeeeeeetter than the both of us. ______________________ Ear transcribed by: Francis C
