[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
I call you on the telephone, [F] my voice too [G] rough for cigarettes
[C]
I sometimes feel like you're just a [F] hole but I feel you with a [G] memory that never [C] forgets
I love to hear you say my [F] name, especially [G] when you say [C] yes
I got your body right now on my mind [F] but I cut myself [G] right through the sound of [Am] old T-Rex
[Gm] [F] You [C]
[Am] see the sound of [Ab] old T-Rex, [C] oh, yeah, yeah
[G] When [C] I say I love you, you [F] say you better, [A] you [G] better, you [C] better, you better
When I say I need you, you [F] say you better, [Am] you [G] better, you [Dm] better, you better
You better [G] fetch your knife, [Dm] or love will cut you, cut you [G] like a knife
I [C] want no feeble-minded access on the throne
[G] [C] I'm not into your passport [F] picture, I just [G] like you know
[C] You welcome me with [F] open arms and [G] open legs
[C] I know only fools have [F] knees, but this one [C] never [G] fails

You're [Eb] knocking, licking my [Bb] nose, and [F] chewing up [Dm] all those letters
[G] I say you better, [Dm] you better [G] fetch your knife
[A] You better love me, all the [C] time now, better show me, I can't [Am] rely now
Love me, all the [C] time now, better show me, I can't rely [Am] now
[C]
[Am] [C]
I showed up late one night [F] with a plea on like [C] a visa
But knowing I'm so easy to fight, [F] that make better being [C] any easier
I know I've been wearing crazy clothes, [F] and I look pretty crappy [G] sometimes
[C] But it feels so good, [F] and I feel sing-a-rays [G] with my ass [Am] every time
And [Gm] when it comes [F] to all [C] that living, I know [F] what I'm giving
[Ab] I've got it all down to [C] a T if in a spring
[G] [C]
When I say I love you, you say you better, you better, you better, you better
When I say I need you, you say you better, you better, you better, you better
When I say I love you, you [F] say you better, [Am] you better, [G] you better, [C] you better
