C  G  D  C  Am
 
[Verse 1]
 
C               G               D         C          Am
Walking out of England thinking you were king taking on this world
         C                      G        D             C          Am
On that bus that goes through Mexico a killer often finds a sweet Mexican girl
     C  G     D                        C     Am
But in Mississippi we rushed into the room 
 C   G   D                         C     Am
Down in Dixie you were crying for dope
 
C          G               D           C    Am
Down in Alabama they like home-cooked fare yeah
So we're gonna strap you to the fryin' chair yeah
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C      G     D             C
But I don't know what love is
Am
Is there something else giving me the chills?
     C  G  D                       C
But if my hands are the color of blood
Am
Then I can tell ya
sure I can tell ya
 
[Chorus]
 
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am

[Verse 2]
 
         C              G           D            C               Am
Do you wanna hear the sirens, the sirens of the city drown the arguing?
We're on Riker's Island in a population war - they don't care about your fame
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C      G     D             C
But I don't know what love is
Am
Is there something else giving me the chills?
     C  G  D                       C
But if my hands are the color of blood
Am
Then I can tell ya
sure I can tell ya
 
[Chorus]
 
C G Am

[Verse 3]
 
C       G    D                           C
On the Rio Grande they'll tie you to a tree
Am
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh
          C    G          D                               C
And you can't call the lawyers 'cause the whorehouse is asleep
Am
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh
 
[Instrumental]
C G D C
 
Am
You people will get weak
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh
          C              G                  D      C      Am
They'll throw you in a cell where you can barely breathe
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C      G     D             C
But I don't know what love is
Am
Is there something else giving me the chills?
     C  G  D                       C
But if my hands are the color of blood
Am
Then I can tell ya
sure I can tell ya
