D7
Sweet as the smell of success
G          G/F#     Em
Her body's warm and wet
D7
She gets me thru this God awful loneliness
G         G/F#         Em
A natural high butterfly
         C6    G     Am       RIFF
Oh I, I need, need, need her

Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And oh boy, you don't know what she do to me
She makes me sweat and forget who I am
   C6    G     Am    G   F7
I need, need, need, need her

            C             F  E7             Am         D7
Well I was wond'ring how long this could go on, on and on
        G              Em            D7sus4  D7
Well I thought I could never be surprised
             C       F E7           Am      D7
But could it be that I   bit my own tongue
               G          Em                   D7sus4  D7
Oh yeah, It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong

A bird of paradise
Sunrise in her eyes
God only knows such a sweet surprise
I was blind she blew my mind
                 C6    G     Am    G     F7
Think that I, I love, love, love, love, love her
I love her
I love her
I love her
I love her
I love her
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love!
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love!
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love!
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love!
