[Verse 1]
          Em             Em  
There be times when my crimes
        C             D      
will seem almost unforgivable
        Em    Em
I give in to sin
             C                      D      
because you have to make this life liveable
              Em                             Em         
But when you think I've had enough from your sea of love
     C                        D       
I'll take more than another river full
        Em           D        Am   
Yes and I'll make it all worthwhile
C              D          
I'll make your heart smile

[Chorus]
Em          Am                  D         
Strangelove strange highs and strange lows
Em          Am            D        
Strangelove that's how my love goes
Em         
Strangelove
Am       D          Em
will you give it to me
                  Am  
will you take the pain
       D       G  
I will give to you
   C         D 
again and again
Em + intro
and will you return it
   Em                        Em

[Verse 2]
             Em 
There'll be days
           Em  
When I'll stray
      C           
I may appear to be
         D             
Constantly out of reach
        Em
I give in
   Em 
to sin
           C                       D    
Because I like to practice what I preach
        Em           
I'm not trying to say
              Em       
I'll have it all my way
            C              
I'm always willing to learn
                 D                
When you've got something to teach
    Em            D        Am  
And I'll make it all worthwhile
C               D         
I'll make your heart smile
Em                     
Pain will you return it
Em              C       A
I'll say it again - pain
Em                     
Pain will you return it
Em              C       A
I'll say it again - pain
Em                     
Pain will you return it
Em              C       A
I'll say it again - pain
Em                     
Pain will you return it
Em                 CA
I won't say it again
