We Cant Go On This Way

An almost-hit (#103 in _Billboard_) for the pride of Beverly, Massachusetts,
after this, degenerating from primo garage punk into so-so knockoffs of the
Turtles and American Breed.  --AWR

Verse 1:

         E
        Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter
         B7
        Flowers are pretty, but you're even prettier
              E                            A   D
        Your love is warmer than a summer day
             B                      A6               E  A6     E  [1: B]
        But you're so young and we can't go on this way    (oh no)

Verse 2:

        You're the fruit of the tree in the Garden of Eden
        I should keep away but  I feel the need, and
        My love goes stronger  every day
        But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)

            F#m [N.C.]             E
        It hurts to part with you now
            F#m [N.C.]                       E
        But our love's the kind they don't allow
           C#m                 F#m
        So don't hold on, soon I'll be gone
                  B7
        But I'll always  remember

Verse 3:

        Sugar is sweet but you're much sweeter
        Flowers are pretty, but you're even prettier
        And how I wish that  I-I could stay [4: to coda]
        But you're so young and we can't go on this way (oh no)

                                                  (sugar is sweet)
             B                      A6               E
