Next Lover

            B                 A
 There goes innocence fading away

            B                    A
 Here comes bitterness after you pay

       B                      A
 For believing in stories man-made

         B                        D
 Yes, we all want to be your next lover

        B                           D
 But we scared so we're running you down

         B                        D
 Yes, we all want to be your next lover

          B                      D
 But your beauty's too far above ground


 From a film heroine


         B                          A
 We will laugh at the worst of your jokes

                    B                        A
 Steal a kiss if we can, buy you flowers and gifts

                 B                          A
 Every move is a plan, you can measure this man

                      B                          A
 By the depths of his lies, you can measure this man

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover



        B                          A
 We are driven by things you can't feel

        B                      A
 Are we stealing or are we the steal

       B          A
 So we lie like a priest

          B              A
 To slide under and into inside

         B                     A
 Love is cruel but love seldom kind


        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover



       B
 I can lie like the best of them

 A                         B
 Wait with the patience of man

                  A
 Seem so understanding

                     B
 While I'm making my plans


                  A                         B
 I'm so full of desire, I've forgotten your name

                  A                        B
 I'm so full of desire, I could burst into flames

                  D            B          D
 I'm so full of desire I can't hope to control

        B                     D
 This desire that's closer to pain

       B                     D
 River runs where all rivers go

        B                   D
 This desire will not be contained

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover

        B                        D
 Yes we all want to be your next lover


 Lover  Lover I love her

 Who are you dreaming of now
 Is she flesh real
 Or carved in memory
