                     (... beg your pardon, Greg ...). Again I have tried
                     to preserve the timing for the chord changes.
                     Chords used here:    Emaj       022100
                                          Esus4      022200
                                          Bmaj       224442
                                          Emin       022000
                                          F#min      244222
                                          Gmaj       320003
                                          Amaj       x02220
                                          Bmin       x24432
                     Other chords shapes may be used instead. Listen to 
                     the original song to find the bits and pieces.
                     And a 12string guitar is the best guitar for this song.

*** Intro:

Emaj  Esus4  Emaj  Esus4

*** Main theme:

    Emaj
She looked at me across the room

 Esus4
Emerging from a silk cocoon

 Emaj                        Esus4
Alone beneath Venetian chandeliers

 Emaj                      
Against the moon her body rocks

    Esus4
Her eyes were cunning like a fox

    Emaj                            Esus4
The wings of passion fly on all frontiers

*** Refrain:

Bmaj                        Emaj

Amaj
No escape your heart is burning

Bmaj                  Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon

Amaj
No one is too smart

                  Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

                  Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart

*** Main theme:

Emaj
Now upon the bridge she waits

Esus4
Dreaming of our tangled fates

    Emaj                               Esus4
Her face was like a ghost with eyes of jade

    Emaj
(I) fell just like a falling star

  Esus4
A victim of this coup d'etat

  Emaj                            Esus4
I could not see behind this masquerade

*** Refrain:

Bmaj                        Emaj

Amaj
No escape your heart is burning

Bmaj                  Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon

     Amaj
(Be) careful where you start

                  Emaj ... Esus4 
In affairs of the heart ...

                  Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

                  Emin ... F#min ... Gmaj
In affairs of the heart

            Amaj             Emin ... F#min ... Gmaj
Sometimes I think I'll never learn

               Amaj          Emin ... F#min ... Gmaj 
Were all those promises in vain

                Amaj       Bmin  ... Amaj
Do the wings of fire still remain

... Emaj ... Esus4 ... Emaj ... Esus4

*** Main theme:

Emaj
All is fair in love and war

    Esus4
The tender draw the shortest straw

     Emaj                             Esus4
Like autumn leaves they vanish in the air

   Emaj
Is this the time we say goodbye

  Esus4
I call her room there's no reply

  Emaj                            Esus4
Tonight we end this fleeting love affair

*** Refrain:

Bmaj                        Emaj

Amaj
No escape your heart is burning

Bmaj                  Emaj
Love becomes a lethal weapon

Amaj
Sharper than a dart

                  Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

                  Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart

              Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

... Emaj ... Esus4

              Emaj ... Esus4
In affairs of the heart ...

(fade out) ... Emaj ... Esus4 ... Emaj ... Esus4.
