D
 Sweet as the smell of success
G           D            Em
 Her body's warm and wet
    D
She gets me through this god awful loneliness
G          D          Em
 A natural high butterfly - oh I ...
  C     G     Am           [LINK – see above]
I need, need, need her

D
 Just like a willow tree
G            D             Em
 A breath of spring you see
       D
And oh boy you don't know what she do to me
G             D                      Em
 She makes me sweat and forget who I am
  C     G     Am    G7[?] F   
I need, need, need, need, need her

           C             Fmaj7  E              Am         D
Well I was wondering how long    this could go on, on and on
       G               Em          Dsus4   D
Well I thought I could never be surprised
             C       Fmaj7   E         Am         D
But could it be that I-ah-ah-ay bit my own tongue
         G               Em                  Dsus4 [break] D Dsus2 D
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong

D
 A bird of paradise
G            D             Em
 The sunrise in her eyes
D
God only knows such a sweet surprise
G      D                 Em
 I was blind she blew my mind think that I
  C     G     Am    G7[?] F   
I love, love, love, love, love her
  F
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her

F
 Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
 Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
 Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
 Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
 Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
