Am
I would lock you up
But I could not bear to hear you
Dm                    Em
Screaming to be set free
        Am
I would chain you up
If I'd thought you'd swear
    Dm                        Em
The only one that mattered was me, me, me
           Am
I would strap you up
But don't worry baby
    Dm                                  E
You know I wouldn't hurt you 'less you wanted me to
          Am
It's too late to stop
Won't the heavens save me?
    Dm                               Em
My daddy said the devil looks a lot like you

Chorus:
F                   G
You take me to the edge of heaven
 F               G
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
 F               G             Ф
Hide you baby's eyes and we can...
F                  G
You take me to the edge of heaven
F                    G
One last time might be forever
F                 G
When the passion dies
             Dm                       E
It's just a matter of time before my heart
is looking for a home

I'm like a maniac at the end of the day
I'm like a doggie barking at your door
So come and take me back to the place you stay
And maybe we can do it once more
I'm dangerous but don't worry, baby
I get excited at the things that you do
And there's a place for us in a dirty movie
'Cause no one does it better than me and you

Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Please don't tell me lies
It's just a matter of time before my
heart is looking for a home

Yeah yeah yeah
La da da da da
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(x2)

I ain't got no more worries
I'm gonna spend some time with you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that
I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it - x2

Filthy

Chorus:
Take me to the edge of heaven
Tell me that my soul's forgiven
Hide your baby's eyes and we can
We can, woo
Take me to the edge of heaven
One last time might be forever
Don't you tell me lies
Because believe me, baby
One day you'll wake up on your own

Yeah yeah yeah (WOO)
La da da da da
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah
La da da da da
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
Everyone's got their eye on you
I ain't got no more worries
I ain't got no more time for you
Loving you takes such courage
And don't you think that
I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it
