C#                                  F#    B
The love line is never straight and narrow
Unless your love is tried and true
We take a chance with new beginnings

          G#          F#
Still we try, win or lose
Take the highs with the blues

Chorus:
           C#                       G#
Always one more, you're never satisfied
Instead of 'one for all' with you, it's only 'one for me'
Oh, when I draw the line and meet you half the way
But you don't know what that means

I feel like running politician
Just trying to please you all the time
I'm giving you my share with no conditions

Going wide, running long
Feeling lost but not for long

Chorus - x2
