Lyrics
LOVE IS ANOTHER DRUG
Am C
Love is another drug
G Em Fmaj9
Gets so hard when it pulls it tugs.
Am C
Love is another drug
G Em Fmaj9
I don't think that I can take so much
C G
Loving somebody else
Fmaj9 Am G
We both know its a song and dance
C G Am Fmaj9
Love and some other drugs they take a toll on me
Love is another drug
Every morning it's the first thing I think of.
Cup of coffee makes everything
a little bit clearer it seems too hard to break up
broken down shackled and worn
I shoulda seen it coming ya I knew I'd been warned.
C Am G F C
If I could find a way out
I'm tired of facing myself
If I could say it out loud,
maybe i'd have the courage to throw it all... away.
C Am G
F E F C G
