duet with Stevie Nicks

Eb - Ab - G7 - Cm - Cm/Bb - F - Ab

     Eb              Ab
We broke the rules together
     G7
I'm guilty for the crime
     Cm           Cm/Bb
You call me up at 3 a.m.
    F                Ab
To kill me one more time
       Eb              Ab
We're dancing in slow motion
     G7
The house is set on fire
    Cm              Cm/Bb
We hurt the ones we love the most
 F           Ab
Tempted by desire

 Eb           Ab       Eb      Db
Smoke rings, tattoos, warning signs
 F#                 Ebm7      Ab
Sink your teeth in, babe, be mine

     Db       F#           Ebm7    Ab      
Our love was like a stolen car
 Db               F#
Racing down the freeway
 Ebm7           Ab
Drinking for a new day
 Db    F#             Ebm7       Ab
Wasted in an old dive bar
 Db             F#
Nobody knew our names
Ebm7                  Ab
Damn, those were the good days
       Bbm              F/A
Oh, we knew it wouldn't last
       Db/F         F#
But we did it to remember
    Db       F#            Ebm7      Ab
Our love was like a stolen car
       Bbm           F#
Pulled over on the freeway
       Ebm    F#   Ab  Bbm     Ab - F#
'Cause it was ne - ver ours

Bbm - Ab - F#
Eb - Ab - G7 - Cm - Cm/Bb - F - Ab

     Eb                Ab
The night knows every secret
     G7
The morning never tells
Cm            Cm/Bb
I'm not ready to leave yet
    F                 Ab
But you need somebody else
    Eb             Ab
You kiss me on the forehead
    G7
As distance fills the room
     Cm            Cm/Bb
Like holding on to water
       F               Ab
You're always gone too soon

 Eb           Ab       Eb      Db
Smoke rings, tattoos, warning signs
 F#                 Ebm7      Ab
Sink your teeth in, babe, be mine
