 Em                    G           D             A
   Two weeks in a Virginia jail, for my lover, for my lover,
 Em                    G            D             A          C
    twenty thousand dollar bail, for my lover, for my lo...ver.

    And everybody thinks           I'm the fool,
D                       C
    they don't get any love from you !

Em                            A
    Things they won't do for love.

    I'd climb a mountain if I had to,
G                                    D
    risk my life so I could have y....ou,
                        C
    you, you, you, you,    you, you, you, you, you !

 Em                      G          D             A
    Every day I'm psychoanalyzed, for my lover, for my lover.
 Em                     G               D             A          C
    dope me up and I tell them lies, for my lover, for my lo...ver.

Refrão:
C                         Em
    I follow my heart       and leave my head to ponder,
D                          C
    deep in this love, no man can shake.
C                        Em
    I follow my heart       and leave my mind to wonder,
D                                C
    is this love worth the sacrifices I make?

    Em                    G           D             A
    Two weeks in a Virginia jail, for my lover, for my lover,
 Em                    G            D             A
    twenty thousand dollar bail, for my lover, for my lover.
 Em                     G         D             A
    Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed for my lover, for my lover.
Em                    G              D             A          C
    dope me up and I tell them lies for my lover, for my lo...ver.
