Bm
Your precious love - that means so much
will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
G F#
What I want to say - but my words just fail
Bm
Is that I need you so I can't help myself
Like a hungry child - I just help myself
G F# F#aug
And when I'm all full up - I got out to play
Bm
Aw! Huh!
Bm
Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning
Quiet as the sea on a good calm night
G F#
In your tranquil shadow - I try and follow
Bm
I hear your distant shoe clicks
To the midnight beat -
I feel trapped in sorrow
In this imagery
G F# F#aug
But that's how I am and why I need you so
Bm
Aw! Huh!
Bm
F#7 F#7aug
Em D
But I don't mean to bleed you dry
Gm/Bb D/A
Or take you over for the rest of your life
Bm A G F#
It's just that I need something solid in mine
Believe me baby!
Bm
You precious love - it means so much
Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?
G F#
What I want to say but my words just fail
Bm
I hear your distant shoe clicks
To the midnight beat
I'm feeling trapped in sorrow
In this imagery
G
But that's how I am
F# F#aug
And why I need you so
Bm
Aw! Huh!
Bm (instrumental)
Bm
If the sky fell from above
I said who's your precious love?
If the sky fell from above
I said who's your precious love?
If the sky fell from above
Buddy, who's your precious love?
Bm
Huh!
