Em   D  C     Am  D  Em     

[Verse 1]
Em      D          C
Hold on my darling
Am       D                    Em
Wake up, wake up early morning
Em               D                          C
The smell in the air tells a different story
Am                      D                    Em
Than the ones I've read or the ones I've told before
Em                D                      C
Add a little more soul and some swing to it
Am                   D              Em
Is what I mean, it's what I think I need

[Chorus]
C                    G  Am
I stepped on a fire, mistreated my soul
C                     G   Am
Tripped on your wire, and then you got me
C                 G Am              C      G
Got me all tired to better keep me calm  mmmmmm
   Am
To better keep me

[Verse 2]
Em          D                     C
But hold up 'til we get it all in line
           Am
Might have raised my voice
         D             Em
But I'll never let you down
    Em  D               C
And pay close attention now
              Am            D                     Em
Don't make me turn my back and leave you down and out
     Em   D                C
Yeah hope for the best that I
      Am               D                  Em
Don't turn my back and leave you down and out

[Chorus]
C                    G  Am
I stepped on a fire, mistreated my soul
C                     G   Am
Tripped on your wire, and then you got me
C                 G Am              C      G
Got me all tired to better keep me calm  mmmmmm
   Am
To better keep me

C     D        Em
All I ask from you
C                        D           Em
Is to trust me with your heart in my hands
C                 D         Em
And if you ask me how
C            D                         Em
To figure it out, that's the beauty of love
