 C#m2    B       A


C#m                 C#7sus4         C#m        C#sus2
This is no more than a story ‘bout a man I used to know
C#m             C#7sus4          C#m            C#sus2
No more than a story that you’ve heard ten times before
C#m             C#7sus4         C#m          C#sus2
He saw what he wanted and attraction made him tell
C#m             C#7sus4           C#m             C#sus2
She could never say no ‘cos false guilt will lead to Hell
C#m               C#7sus4           C#m             C#sus2
No matter what you say it don’t mean nothing cos its healed
C#m             C#7sus4          C#m              C#sus2
Love’s only skin-deep you gotta touch to know it’s real
C#m            C#7sus4    C#m               C#sus2
Time is not my enemy I’m still the same next week
C#m           C#7sus4      C#m               G#
Love is just my energy don’t even have to speak

(notice the G# at the end of the 2nd part of the verse!)

Aadd9            F#11
Lust don’t last forever
Aadd9                  F#11
You know that this ain’t right
Aadd9          F#11
Burning in the dark
Aadd9                      F#11
It’s not your hearts you set alight
Aadd9                 F#11
If I could stop this somehow
Aadd9                  F#11
I’d be in there with my vice
Aadd9                 F#11
But I guess I’m just a lonely man
Aadd9           F#11
Better go think twice

C#m    B    A G#
She is so beautiful x4


(same chords as verse 1)

(C#m C#7sus4 C#m C#sus2 etc, with G# on the end)

What started as a private life is no more than a show
Libidos in a Speedo as the good times start to go
Take me back through history so I can re-arrange
The details of your meeting it’s the only way I’ll change
Wrestling with my angel all throughout the night
He couldn’t defeat my will and so he told me I was right
Show me my subconscience as you know I gotta find				
The balance of my spirits and the essence of my mind

Aadd9           F#11
Luck don’t last forever
You know that this ain’t right
You do not deserve her
So why d’you hold her tight?
If I could stop this somehow
I’d pray for good advice
But I guess I’m just a lonely man
Better go think twice


C#m B A G#
She is so beautiful x4

Aadd9                 Badd11
You thought she was an angel
Aadd9              Badd11
God chose her from above
Aadd9                Badd11
And planted her right next to you
Aadd9           Badd11
It’s a mirage of love
Aadd9               Badd11
But when she breaks a mirror
Aadd9                   Badd11
You can break up as good friends
Aadd9                Badd11
Just don’t tell your wife and kids
Aadd9            Badd11
The cycle starts again

C#m B A G#
Just a mirage of love (x4)
It’s a mirage of love (x4)

End on C#m
