Verse 2 (Bm G A F#)
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake ,
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take,
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
Chorus

G
It was a long hot night
Em
She made it easy. She make it feel right
G
But now it's over the moment has gone I
F# Bm F#
follwed my hands -- not my head -- I know I was wrong
