A                         Asus4
We crossed the line
A                         Asus4
Who pushed who over?
A                         Asus4
It doesn't matter to you         it
A                         Asus4
matters to me
A                         Asus4
We're cut adrift
A                         Asus4
But still floating
A
I'm only hanging on
                E
To watch you go down...my love
 
| A | A Asus4 |
 
A                         Asus4
I disappeared in you
A                         Asus4
You disappeared from me
A                                   Asus4
I gave you everything you ever wanted
          A                         Asus4
It wasn't what you wanted
A                                   Asus4
The men who love you, you hate the most
A                                   Asus4
They pass through you like a ghost
A                              Asus4           E
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
              A                Asus4
Baby...you're nowhere
A                         Asus4
Oh........................love
A          D          E      A
You say in love there are no rules
  D  E     A       E
Oh......love  Sweetheart
          A                Asus4
You're so cruel
 
| A | A Asus4 |
 
A                          Asus4
Desparation is a tender trap
A                          Asus4
It gets you every time
A                          Asus4
You put your lips to her lips
   A                       Asus4
To stop the lie
A                                     Asus4
Her skin is pale like God's only dove
A                                     Asus4
Screams like an angel for your love
A                                     E
Then she makes you watch her from above
                         A            Asus4
And you need her like a drug
A                         Asus4
Oh........................love
A          D          E      A
You say in love there are no rules
  D  E     A       E
Oh......love  Sweetheart
          A            Asus4
You're so cruel
F#m
She wears my love
       D
Like a see-through dress
A
Her lips say one thing
    E
Her movements something else
   C#m
Oh love
Love
Like a screaming flower
            A            Asus4
Dying every hour
 
| A | A Asus4 |
 
A                          Asus4
And you don't know if it's fear or desire
A                                  Asus4
Danger the drug that takes you higher?
A
Head of heaven
      Asus4      A          Asus4
Fingers in the mire
A                                          Asus4
Her heart is racing... you can't keep up
A                                          Asus4
The night is bleeding like a cut
A                                 Asus4
Between the horses of love and lust
       E             A          Asus4
We are trampled underfoot
A                         Asus4
Oh........................love
A          D          E      A
You say in love there are no rules
  D  E     A       E
Oh......love  Sweetheart
          A         Asus4
You're so cruel
A                         Asus4
Oh........................love
             D      E      A
To stay with you I'd be a fool
   D      C#m       A   E
oh....hah           hah   Sweetheart
          A
You're so cruel.

Great, song, great chords but it really f***s me up the way they are laid out!

Great tab... try playing the A chord D string 7 fret, G string 6 fret and B string 5 fret, the Asus 4 D and G string 7 fret. Really cool. And then on the love and LUUUUUUUSSSSST part slide up to D and G string 9 fret... and then to an E chord... nice and rich.

I'm not claiming this is "right," but it sounds good to me to sort of hammer-on between the 3rd and 5th fret on the low E string for the A/Asus4 parts.
