Am                                       G
I used to think, darlin', you never did nothin'
                                D
But you were always up to somethin'
              C
Always had a run in
Am                                       G
I got to think those days are comin' to get ya
                       D
Now nobody want to protect yah
                      C
They only want to forget yah

Chorus:
Em               D
You'll be on my mind
                A
Don't give yourself away
        G         D
To the weight of love
Em                 D
You'll be on your side
                C
Don't give yourself away
     B
The weight of, weight of love

Dance all night 'cause people,
they don't wanna be lonely
Never wanna be lonely
They don't wanna be an only one
You had a thing no one could ever be sure of
Never ever had a pure love
And never no cure from

Chorus
