{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[B] when the lady smiles, [B/D#] [B/E] [F#]you know it drives me wild
[B] her lips are [B/D#]warm [B/E] and re[F#]sourceful
when her finger[B]tips, go [B/D#]drawing [B/E] [F#]circles in the night
[B] then the mood is [E]soft and [F#]sensual
[B] and I love it, [F#] yeah I love it
[B] it's the [E]answer to [F#]all my dreams
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_part: Bridge}
every time it feels like the [Esus4]earth is shakin', it doesn't matter
a [G#m]glass is fallin', I hear it shatter
[Esus4] maybe it's raining, faster and faster, [G#m] shadow dancin'
{end_of_part}
{start_of_part: Pre-chorus}
together oh [G#m]I, I'm a bettin' on the [F#]game of love
oh oh oh [G#m]I, I'm bettin' that [C#sus4]love is gonna come [C#]out
when the [C#m]walls no longer shout back at [B]me and I'm feelin' proud
{end_of_part}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus 1}
when the [C#m] lady [G#m]smiles she [C#m]holds me in her [EM7]hand
as a [B]matter of fact, she could [C#m]always [G#m]let me [F#]down [F#sus4]
but when the [C#m] lady [G#m]smiles I [C#m]can't resist her [EM7]call
as a [B]matter of fact, I [A]don't resist at [G#m]all
'cos I'm [E]walking on clouds [F#] and she is leadin' the [B]way
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
[B] my friends [B/D#]tell me, [B/E]she's the [F#]beast inside your paradise
[B] I guess you've [B/D#]heard it [B/E] all be[F#]fore
a fallen [B]angel, [B/D#] [B/E]that has [F#]got you hypnotized
[B] and that [E]always needs some [F#]more
[B] and I love it, [F#] yeah I love it
[B] she's done [E]nothin' to mislead [F#]me
