Jolie Jolie


Intro: A Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm

G A
There's no remedy
G A
I just keep yearning for the sound of your voice
G A
I don't use teardrops as a weapon by choice
Bm
They're just a fall out of my eyes
G A
Keep reminding me
G A
Every last touch is buried under my skin
G A
Every caress keeps up the hunger within
Bm D A
Now I'm in a feeding frenzy of loving you (Loving you)

G Dm A
Jolie Jolie, gets my attention
G D A
Jolie Jolie, don't have to mention
G A
I know what you want, and you know what I need
G D
And don't you ever forget it
A Bm A Bm A Bm
Jolie Jolie, Jolie Jol--ie

G A
In the Mexican Quarter now
G A
The women so hungry that they eat their own kids
G A
I feel out of place in making takeover bids
Bm
But when you get that hungry, rock steady, yeah
G A
And you giving all that love
G A
Nothing so much has ever been mine before
G A
I tried to disguise it in these words for sure
Bm D A
It's just an idiots way of telling you (telling you)

REPEAT CHORUS

Em
Always in the bitter end
F#m
Lovers just become good friends
G C D
Not with you I always want to go for it, And another thing
Em
I'm not losing any sleep
F#m
When I stay awake waiting up for you
G A
In the end I get something to show for it, go for it,
go go go go go
And there's no remedy
just keep yearning for the sound of your voice
I don't use teardrops as weapons by choice
They're just a fall out of my eyes

REPEAT CHORUS twice,
End on Jolie Jolie (7 times)
