A            E
There was a time
F#m            C#m
When I was so broken-hearted
D            A          E
Love wasn't much of a friend of mine

The tables have turned, yeah
'Cause me and them ways have parted
That kind of love was the killin' kind
Now listen

G      D          G              D
All I want is someone I can't resist
C             G                   E
I know all I need to know by the way
That I got kissed

Chorus:
           A            E
   I was cryin' when I met you
            F#m          D
   Now I'm tryin' to forget you
  A          E        D
   love is sweet misery
           A             E
   I was cryin' just to get you
           C#m             D
   Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
  A             E           D
   Do what you do, down on me

A# C F G
        Now there's not even breathin' room
A# C F G
        Between pleasure and pain
A# C F G
        Yeah, you cry when we're makin' love
A# C F G                     A#
        Must be one and the same

A             E
It's down on me
F#m            C#m
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
D                  A            E
That's been on my mind, girl I gotta say
A                   E
We're partners in crime
F#m           C#
You got that certain something
D                 A            E
What you give to me takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street
Is the devil's in your kiss
If our love goes up in flames
It's a fire I can't resist

Chorus

           D#             A#
   'Cause what you got inside
          D#                     A#
   Ain't where your love should stay
       G#                    D#
   Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love
            E
   Till ya give your heart away

Chorus:
           A            E
   I was cryin' when I met you
            C#m          D
   Now I'm tryin' to forget you
  A               E        D
   your love is sweet misery
           A             E
   I was cryin' just to get you
           F#m       D
   Now I'm dyin' to let you
  A             E                   D
   Do what you do what you do down to
   Baby, baby, baby

   I was cryin' when I met you
   Now I'm tryin' to forget you
   Your love is sweet misery
   I was cryin' when I met you
   Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you
   Do what you do down to , down to,
   down to, down to
   I was cryin' when I met you
   Now I'm dyin' to forget you
   Your love is sweet
   I was cryin' when I met you
