The one that you're lovin' will wish that he'd never met you

Before too long

He who is nothin' will suddenly come into view
G D
So let the time keep rollin' on

It's on my side
G D
Lonely nights will soon be gone

High is the tide

A
Before too long
Em G A D G D
We'll be together and no-one will tear us apart
A
Before too long
Em G A D G A
The words will be spoken I know all the action by heart
G D A Em
As the night time follows day I'm closing in
G D A
Every dog will have his day Any dog can win
Em G
Shut the shade
D A
Do not fear any more
Em G D
Here I come creeping round
Your back door
